Both US Navy (USN) vessel platforms lined up for the service's first Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) deployments face issues with scheduling and development, according to a US Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released on 8 June.

The first USN platform lined up for the CPS weapon system is the guided-missile destroyer, USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000).

The navy requested about USD160 million in research, development, test, and evaluation funds across fiscal years (FYs) 2022 and 2023 to support the CPS hypersonic weapon system's incorporation into DDG 1000-class ships, the GAO said in its annual report on major Pentagon acquisition programmes.

“According to the programme, it continued engineering design planning to support CPS integration initiated last year,” the GAO reported. “This includes plans to replace the ship's advanced gun system with the CPS hypersonic weapon. The navy plans to install the hypersonic weapon system on the DDG 1000 during a maintenance period in fiscal year 2024.”
