The U.S. Army is currently developing its first Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon system, with the first battery to be delivered by fall 2023, said Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth.
In the midst of growing tensions in the Indo-Pacific, the U.S. military continues to prepare for a potential conflict in that region. While she does not believe that a war with China is unavoidable, Wormuth said preparedness is key.
“We all need to be really focused on deterring that possibility,” she said at an Aspen Security Forum panel in Aspen, Colorado, July 20.
