The Defense Department is ratcheting up planned funding for the Conventional Prompt Strike program and plans to hand responsibility for the project -- the U.S. military's marquee effort to develop an intermediate-range, non-nuclear hypersonic weapon -- to the Navy beginning in fiscal year 2020. The Pentagon has allocated $1.9 billion for CPS development in its new five-year plan beginning in FY-19, nearly doubling the total amount allocated for the program in the FY-18 future years defense plan.

I think the fact that the DOD office is close to handing over the CPS program to the Navy proves how close the US is to deploying this weapon. A US Navy acquisition program is not to far off now.
