US Navy is preparing for large-scale trials of C-HGB hypersonic rocket

The army is currently focused on testing rocket on test stands that mimic all stages of flight. After that, physical guns will begin in the summer. The US naval forces begin a large-scale test of hypersonic weapons to determine the path of a joint development program with the army. About it reports Defense News. In the Army's Fast Opportunities and Critical Technologies, Common-Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) tests will begin in summer with a ground launcher.

"If everything goes according to the plan, we will be on the landfill this summer," said Lieutenant General Robert Rosh at the Symposium of the United States Army Global Forces Association. The C-HGB consists of the combat part, the guidance system, the cable and the thermal security screen. The peculiarity of hypersonic weapons is that it should fly faster than 5 strokes per hour and maneuver between different heights, which should complicate its detection.

The Navy is currently testing on the test stand, which contains launch and ground auxiliary equipment. "It is rather a team for a rocket for ignition and observation of how the rocket is the first degree, the second degree, the adapter of the extraordinary load, the hypersonic glider is separated and does its business," Rash explained. If everything is successful, it will be a moment for the army to allow the supplier to start production of missiles.
