The Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept will integrate Raytheon Technologies’ air-breathing hypersonic weapons with scramjet combustors from Northrop Grumman. The scramjet-powered Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept test met all primary and secondary objectives, including tactical range capabilities.
"The test demonstrated how we've rapidly matured affordable scramjet technology, which is the basis for air-breathing weapons," said Colin Whelan, president of Advanced Technology for Raytheon Missiles & Defense, in a statement. "Our second HAWC flight test success is an important milestone for our nation as we advance hypersonic systems."
The test used a trajectory designed to put stress on the weapon and test its limits.
