The AGM-183 ARRW ("Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon") is [5] a hypersonic air-to-ground ballistic missile planned for use by the United States Air Force.Developed by Lockheed Martin, the boost-glide vehicle is propelled to a maximum speed of more than Mach 5 [6] by a rocket motor before gliding toward its target.
It will reuse the glide body from the AGM-183 ARRW. The unique aspect of OpFires is use of a "throttleable" rocket motor, where thrust can be turned off at a desired point mid-flight instead of needing to wait until all fuel is burned to make it better able to hit a short-range target.
Dynetics will build the hypersonic glide vehicle while Lockheed Martin will build the booster as well as assemble the missile and launch equipment. [10] The C-HGB has been successfully tested, in October 2017, March 2020, [11] [12] 28 June 2024, [13] and 12 December 2024. [14] The missile had been planned to enter service with the Army in 2023 ...
[14] [15] It is designed to be smaller than the AGM-183 ARRW and able to fly along “vastly different trajectories” than the boost-glide ARRW. [16] The system will give the US military "tactical flexibility to employ fighters to hold high-value, time-sensitive targets at risk, while maintaining bombers for other strategic targets."
The Lockheed Martin Mk 70 Mod 1 is a containerized system containing four strike-length cells from the Mark 41 Vertical Launching System mounted in the footprint of a 40-foot (12 m) ISO container. [4] In addition to the Typhon system, the Mk 70 Mod 1 has been tested aboard ship on USS Savannah (LCS-28). [13]

As of August 24, 2017, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin received separate $900 million contracts from the Department of Defense and US Air Force and are developing their own versions. [2] [3] [4] Contracts were intended to end in 2022, when the Department of Defense will select one design to continue further developments. [5]
In March 2016, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon announced they would bid on a missile to meet the US Army's Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) requirement to replace the ATACMS. The PrSM will use advanced propulsion technology to fly faster and farther (originally out to 310 mi or 500 km). [3]
