The US Navy and Army tested hypersonic weapon component prototypes on Wednesday that will inform development of new weapons, the Pentagon said, calling the three tests successful.
The tests occurred the same day that President Joe Biden said he was concerned about Chinese hypersonic weapons.
Sandia National Laboratories ran the tests from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia that will help “inform the development of the Navy’s Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) and the Army’s Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) offensive hypersonic strike,” a statement said.
