Gen. Neil Thurgood, director of the Army\u2019s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office, said the first joint flight test of a hypersonic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2017\/09\/20\/artillery-soldiers-airdrop-test-new-targeting-system\/\" target=\"_blank\">weapon <\/a>will happen next year and another test every six months will develop the tech until it can be fielded likely in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developing the weapons on time is key for Army work in strategic fires as both China and Russia have made bold claims about their own capabilities in hypersonics research that can defeat conventional anti-missile defense systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link

class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Army&#039;s top leadership says the service is outmanned and outgunned when it comes to artillery and missiles.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers will fire the hypersonic glide body from a \u201ctransporter erector launcher\u201d likely in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before then, soldiers will get to practice with the system, but no live rounds, beginning next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They\u2019ll do loading and off loading canisters and use the command and control systems, which are similar to the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, launchers and the Patriot systems, according to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/222617\" target=_blank>Army release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe reason we\u2019re going to do that is because we need them to start training,\u201d Thurgood said. \u201cSo, when we get to the first (live round) shot a year later, they\u2019ll actually know what it looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He spoke at the annual Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s Land Forces Symposium in late May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The command and control system is the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System 7.0, already in use by Army artillery units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re using a kit we have because the Soldiers know how to use it already and there\u2019s already a school set up to use that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 30-foot-long launchers are transported by four Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks, or HEMTTS, and trailers, according to the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system will eventually go to an Army battery that could be part of the Multi-Domain Operations Task Force the Army first used last year in the large-scale Rim of the Pacific joint, multinational maritime exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The three-star over new Army technology says joint hypersonic testing is slated for next
