The U.S. Air Force successfully conducted the first flight test of its AGM-183A Air Launched Rapid Response Weapon, or ARRW, on a B-52 Stratofortress aircraft on June 12 at Edwards Air Force Base, California.
A sensor-only version of the ARRW prototype was carried externally by a B-52 during the test to gather environmental and aircraft handling data.
The test gathered data on drag and vibration impacts on the weapon itself and on the external carriage equipment of the aircraft. The prototype did not have explosives and it was not released from the B-52 during the flight test. This type of data collection is required for all Air Force weapon systems undergoing development.
“We’re using the rapid prototyping authorities provided by Congress to quickly bring hypersonic weapon capabilities to the warfighter,” said Dr. Will Roper, assistant secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics. “We set out an aggressive schedule with ARRW. Getting to this flight test on time highlights the amazing work of our acquisition workforce and our partnership with Lockheed Martin and other industry partners.”
The Air Force is leading the way in air-launched hypersonic weapon prototyping efforts. As one of two rapid prototyping hypersonic efforts, ARRW is set to reach early operational capability by fiscal year 2022.
https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display ... ight-test/The flight test serves as the first of many flight tests that will expand the test parameters and capabilities of the ARRW prototype.
The ARRW rapid prototyping effort awarded a contract in August 2018 to Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, Orlando, Florida, for critical design review, test and production readiness support to facilitate fielded prototypes.
Air Force awards hypersonic weapon contract (13. August 2018)
Today the Air Force has awarded a contract not to exceed $480,000,000 to Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control to begin designing a second hypersonic weapon prototype.
This contract will provide the critical design review, test and production readiness support for the Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW).
The ARRW effort is one of two hypersonic weapon prototyping efforts being pursued by the Air Force to accelerate hypersonic research and development. The Air Force is using rapid prototyping authorized by Section 804 of the FY16 National Defense Authorization Act to explore the art-of-the-possible and to advance these technologies to a capability in 2021.
Leaders from the Department of Defense, Missile Defense Agency, Air Force, Navy and Army signed a memorandum of agreement June 28 to work cooperatively on hypersonic boost glide technology development.
https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display ... -contract/This undefinitized contract action allows the government to meet urgent needs by authorizing the contractor to begin work before reaching a final settlement on contract terms and conditions, to include a final negotiated price. The contract is expected to be definitized within 180 days of award.
The Air Force's other hypersonic weapon rapid prototyping effort is called the Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW). The ARRW and HCSW efforts are developing unique capabilities for the warfighter and each has different technical approaches. The ARRW effort is "pushing the art-of-the-possible" by leveraging the technical base established by the Air Force/DARPA partnership. The HCSW effort is using mature technologies that have not been integrated for an air-launched delivery system.
The Armament Directorate of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is providing program management of these prototyping efforts.
Operational Fires (OpFires) Integrated Weapon System
https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity ... e&_cview=0The OpFires Integrated Weapon System task will be a three-phased effort to design, develop and flight test an end-to-end demonstration system enabling a novel ground-launched system for tactical weapons deployment.
- A. OpFires Program Background and Overview
The United States ground-based forces are currently limited in effective range of surface-to-surface precision fires. The OpFires program seeks to provide operational/theater level commanders with flexible capabilities to strike time-sensitive targets while providing persistent standoff from unpredictable land-launch positions. This flexibility would restore combatant commander options in force deployment and employment, enabling adaptable engagement at extended ranges.
The overarching goal of the OpFires program is to develop and demonstrate a novel ground-launched system enabling hypersonic boost-glide weapons to penetrate modern enemy air defenses and rapidly and precisely engage critical time-sensitive targets. Specific capability objectives for the OpFires system and components are in the classified annex to this BAA. DARPA-CG-969 Rev. 1 provides instructions and guidelines on the classification/declassification of information and material associated with the OpFires program. Instructions for requesting the Classification Guide and classified annex are in Section IV., Application and Submission Information.
The OpFires program includes three main elements:
(1) This Integrated Weapon System BAA, referred to as Phase 3, focused on developing an operational system design and leveraging the innovative propulsion solutions under development in the Propulsion System task. This design will inform a prototype missile system suitable for integrated flight testing to demonstrate the end-to-end OpFires system. Proposals submitted for this effort must address the full scope of the program described herein.
(2) The ongoing Propulsion System task, referred to as Phases 1 and 2, which is developing innovative propulsion solutions for an advanced tactical weapon system. Government Furnished Information (GFI) resulting from this effort may be provided to OpFires Integrated Weapon System task awardees.
(3) A completed study to inform system and launcher characteristics. Details may be found in the classified annex to this BAA.
For clarity and consistency, the OpFires program will use the following system and component definitions:- Payload – the hardware that will separate from the booster and execute the flight to target;
- Booster – all propulsion associated hardware that is launched from the ground vehicle including: control actuator system (CAS), the rocket motor/engine(s), interstage hardware, nozzles and separation systems. Does not include the shroud or payload;
- Missile – payload, booster, shroud (nose fairing);
- Canister – assembly/launch tube to protect the missile during transport and storage;
- All Up Round (AUR) – missile and any other hardware that is launched from the ground vehicle, when packaged in its canister;
- Control Actuator System – the associated hardware that controls the flight of the vehicle. Can be applied to the missile, booster, or payload;
- Launch Platform – Ground vehicle or trailer and associated interface hardware from which the missile will be launched.
Program Targets Innovative Propulsion Solutions for Ground-Based Weapons Delivery System (9. November 2018)
https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2018-11-09The joint DARPA/U.S. Army Operational Fires (OpFires) program will soon kick off with three performers awarded contracts to begin work: Aerojet Rocketdyne, Exquadrum, and Sierra Nevada Corporation.

(2) Abstracts for component or Constituent Technology. Submission of abstracts for component or Constituent Technologies that enable novel propulsion concepts are encouraged at this time. Abstracts may be unclassified. For additional details, see section IV.B.3.a.
(3) An ongoing study to define system and launcher characteristics. Results of this effort will be Government Furnished Information (GFI) to OpFires Propulsion System task awardees.
(4) A planned Weapon System Integration BAA, which may develop and integrate this propulsion effort into a missile system culminating in an integrated flight test campaign to demonstrate the end-to-end OpFires system. The Weapon System Integration BAA is anticipated to overlap with Phase 2 of this Propulsion System task (see Figure 1).
