US Air Force expected to launch debut test of new hypersonic missile

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The US Air Force is believed to be preparing to test a hypersonic missile for the first time at the Naval Air Station Point Mugu outside of Los Angeles.

The debut flight of the the AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (or ARRW), expected on Tuesday or Wednesday, is being hailed as a major step forward as the Pentagon seeks to maintain its technological advantage against adversaries China and Russia.

The mission will be conducted by a B-52H bomber which carries the AGM-183A missile high into the air and launches it at more than five times the speed of sound.

A no-fly zone has been imposed near the Point Mugu Sea Test Range, southwest of Los Angeles, for Tuesday and Wednesday, where sensitive missile tests are often carried out.

4. Too low

Gotta go exo-atmospheric first.
The trouble with these vehicles is that the speed of them, and the latency of the control systems, begins to approach each other. It gets better every 9 months, but these things are moving VERY fast. Small variations can cause large deviations from stability VERY quickly.
