Hypersonic speed strike weapons remain a top development priority in the Pentagon’s fiscal year (FY) 2022 budget. The department requested USD3.8 billion for several emerging projects, according to budget documents released on 28 May.

In June 2018 the Pentagon announced that the US Navy (USN) would lead development for a common glide vehicle for use on hypersonic weapon programmes across the services. The common glide vehicle is based on the Alternate Re-Entry System that was originally developed by Sandia National Laboratories and the US Army.

DoD’s previous budget request, in FY 2021, for all hypersonic-related research was USD3.2 billion — up from USD2.6 billion the year before that.
