The Pentagon is not giving up on Air-launched Rapid Response Weapons or ARRW yet.
In testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said the service was waiting on the conclusion of all-up-round tests for the hypersonic Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon before officials make a procurement decision.
This comes approximately a month following the testimony of acquisition chief Andrew Hunter, wherein he appeared to convey to lawmakers in written testimony that the service had no intentions of purchasing it after the prototyping phase concludes.
This is an interesting development.
