The two services leverage a common round, but put them in different launchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a company statement, the contract calls for Lockheed Martin to provide the Navy with launcher systems, weapon control, all-up rounds and integration work to link the missiles with the Zumwalt destroyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy has already awarded HII\u2019s Ingalls Shipbuilding a contract to modify the first-in-class Zumwalt to support these missiles, which require launchers much larger than the typical Mk 41 vertical launching system on other surface ships. The shipyard expects to complete the modifications by the end of 2025, at which point the Navy would begin testing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2022\/11\/02\/us-navy-touts-hypersonic-missile-progress-ahead-of-2025-fielding\/\" target=\"_blank\">integration between the ship and the weapon system<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy will also field CPS on some Virginia-class attack submarines later this decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Feb. 17 contract also covers additional rounds and cannisters for the Army, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2022\/10\/14\/us-army-plans-two-more-tests-of-hypersonic-missile-ahead-of-fielding\/\" target=\"_blank\">which plans to field the weapon system<\/a> on truck-based launchers later this year. The contract would be worth more than $2.2 billion if all options are exercised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLockheed Martin continues to advance hypersonic strike capability for the United States through this new contract,\u201d Steve Layne, vice president of Hypersonic Strike Weapon Systems at Lockheed Martin, said in a Feb. 17 news release. \u201cEarly design work is already underway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Defense Department announcement notes the contract also covers engineering development, systems integration, long lead material, and special tooling and equipment in support of missile production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy\u2019s fiscal 2023 budget includes $1.2 billion for research and development for the Conventional Prompt Strike program, including additional money Congress appropriated to allow for additional flight tests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Navy awarded
