The US Department of Defense awarded a $694 million contract to Lockheed Martin to manufacture the AGM-183A ARRW hypersonic missiles. The missile is described as a long-range weapon and "a means of targeting very important targets". The ARRW is said to reach speeds of Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound) and then launch a supersonic flight vehicle. Initially, the AGM-183 missile will be installed on the B-52, and then, possibly, on the B-1. Castellon also announced that it will begin work on integrating Blackbeard missiles with F-16 fighter jets.
