The Department has moved decisively to outpace our adversaries across these priorities:

Hypersonics
Hypersonic capabilities remain a major Department-wide modernization focus, and DoD is accelerating hypersonic systems development and demonstration. The $2.6 billion requested for hypersonics in FY20 represents an increase over the FY19 enacted amount. Moreover, DoD is nearly doubling our long-term investments from $6 billion to $11.2 billion over the next five years. We have significantly increased flight testing, as we intend to conduct approximately 40 flight tests over the next few years, to accelerate the delivery of capability to our warfighters years earlier than previously planned.
