“This test demonstrated advanced hypersonic technologies, capabilities, and prototype systems in a realistic operating environment,” it said. The test, conducted Wednesday at a NASA facility in Wallops, Virginia, is a 'vital step in the development of a Navy-designed common hypersonic missile,' the navy said in a statement.
The United States successfully tested hypersonic missile technology, a new weapons system which is already being deployed by China and Russia, the US Navy said Thursday.
