BossDj ,

I'm not sure what the implication of this meme is, but I found the quote:

The FY24 PB requests $150.3 million of Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation
(RDT&E) funding to complete the Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) AGM-183A
rapid prototyping program. While the Air Force does not currently intend to pursue follow-on
procurement of ARRW once the prototyping program concludes, there is inherent benefit to
completing the All-Up Round (AUR) Test Flights (ATFs) to garner the learning and test data
that will help inform future hypersonic programs and, potential leave behind capability support.

Also from the same guy:

There are different approaches to delivering hypersonic capability. And we have not ruled out any of those approaches for the Air Force in the future,”

So they did tell this subcommittee they would keep doing the tests (November). And in the 2024 article, it says these are still test ones, and they still haven't announced intentions to officially buy any.

"The [ARRW] program intends to conduct additional testing in FY24"

But each one of those things is around 15 million dollars...
