The US weapons tests occurred the same day President Joe Biden said he was concerned about Chinese hypersonic weapons.
The US Navy and Army tested hypersonic weapon component prototypes on Wednesday that will inform development of new weapons, the Pentagon said, calling the three tests successful.
The tests occurred the same day that US President Joe Biden said he was concerned about Chinese hypersonic weapons.
Sandia National Laboratories ran the tests from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia which will help "inform the development of the Navy's Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) and the Army's Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) offensive hypersonic strike," a statement said.
The Navy and Army will conduct a flight test of the common hypersonic missile in fiscal 2022, which began on October 1.
