The US Air Force (USAF) conducted another test flight of its Lockheed Martin AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) booster on 12 July, completing the booster test programme. The service said on 13 July that it was “ready” to start all-up-round testing later in 2022.

ARRW was launched off a Boeing B-52H Stratofortress and “reached hypersonic speeds and primary and secondary objectives were met”, according to the air force. However, the USAF declined to provide Janes with additional information on what objectives were met.

Brigadier General Heath Collins, the air force's programme executive officer for weapons, said the test “demonstrated booster performance expanding the operational envelope”.
