“The AUKUS
partners will work together to accelerate development of advanced hypersonic
and counter-hypersonic capabilities.” [Official AUKUS Fact Sheet, April 5, 2022]. Also see Wiki.
Australia and
the US have been cooperating on the development of hypersonic missiles since
2020 after signing an agreement to "flight test full-size prototype
hypersonic cruise missiles" under the [Boeing and Lockheed Martin preliminary
designed Southern Cross Integrated Flight Research Experiment (SCIFiRE). contract] [97][98][99]

“Leading
Hypersonic Solutions"
"Lockheed Martin
is partnering with DARPA, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Navy
to transition hypersonic concepts to operational reality. Discover why hypersonics
are a key to battlefield supremacy and an essential element in national
defense."
[In the Youtube, uploaded by LM in 2022, here and above]
"Lockheed Martin’s Chief Technology Officer and VP Steve Walker and VP, Advanced Program Development, Space Eric Scherff explain the advantages of hypersonic systems and Lockheed Martin's expertise in scaling complex weapon systems and leadership in hypersonics.”

Tomorrow we'll
take a look at the US (Boeing)-Israeli Arrow 3 Hypersonic missile. "The
missile's reported flight range is up to 2,400 km" and
"Another advantage mentioned was the ability to launch the Arrow 3 from advanced missile boats."
