Hypersonic Glide Bodies: What Actually Flew Versus What Was Claimed
A public-test ledger for the C-HGB, the Army's Dark Eagle and the Navy's Conventional Prompt Strike, separated from the marketing.
James WellingtonInnovation follows defense research before it becomes procurement: laboratory programs, autonomy trials, directed-energy demonstrators and materials work. Each entry states the technology readiness level, the funding line and the physical limits involved. Useful for researchers, program staff and investors judging which prototypes have a realistic path to fielding.
Research programs, autonomy trials and directed-energy prototypes assessed on physics and funding, including those quietly canceled between budget cycles.
