Gen. Robert Rasch, the Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service is pursuing such a capability as a potential munition for eliminating cheaper targets, rather than using high-end missiles for the same mission, Rasch told Defense News at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/smd\/2024\/08\/08\/armys-successful-hypersonic-missile-test-puts-fielding-on-horizon\/\" target=\"_blank\">Space and Missile Defense Symposium<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hypervelocity projectiles are \u201can order of magnitude cheaper than its equivalent missile,\u201d Rasch said, \u201cbut can go really fast to close on the target.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army plans to prototype the hypervelocity capability through the Fires Center of Excellence at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Rasch said, and will spend roughly three years studying the physics of shooting the projectile from a 155mm cannon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have to learn through testing,\u201d he said. \u201cThere [are] different physical pressures that are put on that cannon \u2014 the amount of force required to project something at that speed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the evaluation the Army will also look at autoloader capabilities. It will also aim to ensure the projectile will reliably work while tied into the Integrated Battle Command System, the command-and-control system that connects any sensor and shooter on the battlefield. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s got to fight as part of Army formations,\u201d Rasch stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project to develop a hypervelocity projectile for cannons will transition from the Strategic Capabilities Office to the Army next year, Rasch said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re joined at the hip with [SCO] right now,\u201d he said. \u201cMy team worked very closely with them to understand where they are in the development process of that capability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rasch is aiming to get the capability ready for operational testing in fiscal 2028. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s an impressive capability,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to trying to turn it into an Army platform.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army will spend roughly three years
