摘要

Posted March 28, 2019 The Pentagon will nearly double its planned investments in hypersonic capabilities over the next five years, from $6 billion to $ 11.2 billion, a sum that is higher than one of the Defense Department's top hypersonics officials recently cited. Michael Griffin, under secretary of defense for research and engineering, provided these figures on new plans to accelerate the hypersonic systems development demonstration plan in testimony to the House Armed Services emerging threats and capabilities subcommittee March 28.
