Lockheed Martin releases first image of Long Range Hypersonic Weapon Systems

Lockheed Martin Corp., Pentagon’s No.1 weapons supplier, posted the first public computer-generated graphics of Army’s Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW).

According to the presentation, the new weapon system will consist of four transporter erector launchers (TEL), each installed on a modified M870 40-ton trailer, and command posts.

Each TEL will have two canisterized hypersonic weapons at the ready and the unit will have an unspecified number of additional missiles on hand.

As noted by the company, LRHW will leverage the common hypersonic glide body and introduce a new class of ultrafast and maneuverable long-range missiles with the ability to launch from ground mobile platforms.

The new weapon system will provide a critical strategic weapon and a powerful deterrent against adversary capabilities for the U.S. Army. Hypersonic missiles can reach the top of the Earth’s atmosphere and remain just beyond the range of air and missile defense systems until they are ready to strike, and by then it’s too late to react. Extremely accurate, ultrafast, maneuverable and survivable, hypersonics can strike anywhere in the world within minutes.

cool CGI.

The HGV/booster already flew 4,000 km and successfully hit its target with pinpoint accuracy earlier this year. The trailer and launch canisters are the easy part.

The first battery will achieve IOC in 2023.

The first battery will achieve IOC in 2023. The HGV for this weapon already flew 4,000kms to its target in March. It’s definitely not an imagination.

Also added that on Sept. 23, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the new Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) Canister Production Facility at the RMS Baltimore site. Deputy Director Robert Strider of the Army Hypersonic Project Office and staff attended, as did leadership of RMS and Lockheed Martin Space.

every weapon system starts as a imagination .. and as for US they don't just imagine, they finish the work, honestly i wont be surprised if the advancements of this system is in much more latter stages than they put it out for public ..After all its America we are talking about, they are the best in developing weapons .
