High Speed Strike Weapon (HSSW)

HAWC

TBG

TECHNOLOGY

Tactical Boost Glide (TBG) weapon - rocket boost and glide vehicle

Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) - rocket boost, scramjet, airframe

Technology challenges include aerodynamics, thermal and structural loads, materials, systems integration, aero-propulsion integration

HSSW Technology Maturation - ordnance, propulsion, guidance, navigation, and materials & manufacturing technologies

DESCRIPTION

Flight demonstrate two air-launched weapon concepts with speeds of Mach 5 or greater in the 2019-2020 timeframe Memorandum of Agreement signed by the AF and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in FY14 to fund two HSSW approaches

Parallel Air Force technology risk reduction efforts critical for potential follow-on weapon

BENEFITS TO WARFIGHTER

Increased lethality against broad target set with smaller tailored blast to max target coupling

Decrease response time for engaging surface targets

Prosecute time sensitive targets from safe standoff ranges

Complete missions with fewer launch platforms

Reduced mission cost and asset loss

Increased weapon survivability & effectiveness
