That infrastructure serves a range of emerging technologies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2021\/03\/15\/hypersonic-and-directed-energy-weapons-who-has-them-and-whos-winning-the-race-in-the-asia-pacific\/\" target=\"_blank\">hypersonic and directed-energy weapons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amid complaints from lawmakers that the Pentagon is trailing Russia and China in hypersonic weapons, the FY22 spending bill cut funding for what was thought to be the department\u2019s leading effort \u2014 the Air Force\u2019s AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon, made by Lockheed Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tests of the ARRW in April, July and December of 2021 all failed due to problems during the launch process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/reagan-defense-forum\/2021\/12\/10\/as-pentagon-calls-for-industry-innovation-top-acquisition-nominees-remain-stalled\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lloyd Austin<\/a> said at a House Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday that he has been pressing industry to lean into hypersonic technology development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have engaged industry and asked them to make sure that they\u2019re leaning into this issue of hypersonic development,\u201d Austin said. \u201cMost importantly, I\u2019ve asked them to make sure that they\u2019re working with us on how we\u2019re going to defend ourselves with respect to hypersonics. My R&amp;E staff is working with them to ensure that they have good visibility of what we believe our requirements are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In February, during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2022\/02\/04\/top-pentagon-officials-met-with-industry-executives-about-hypersonics-what-comes-next\/\" target=\"_blank\">meeting<\/a> convened by Austin to discuss hypersonic weapons, industry executives identified testing infrastructure shortfalls as a major barrier to fielding the capabilities on a faster timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former DoD officials and analysts told Defense News in February that the FY23 defense budget request will be a key indicator as to whether the department is serious about improving hypersonic test infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe CEOs indicated they would like to see more test infrastructure, and we\u2019ve actually funded it,\u201d Shyu said of Austin\u2019s meeting and the FY23 request. \u201cIndustry would like to have their own test infrastructure, for them to do their own [testing], and what I\u2019m investing in is for the government to do the testing. And there\u2019s also funding for universities to do research and testing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shyu made the remarks after a Senate subcommittee hearing where lawmakers pressed her as well as the heads of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Defense Innovation Unit to explain the Pentagon\u2019s progress in developing hypersonic weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DARPA chief <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2021\/09\/08\/pentagon-seeks-microbe-miners-to-cut-rare-earth-reliance-on-china\/\"
