US Navy Expands CPS Deployment
1 source · first reported 6h ago
The US Navy is working to expand the deployment methods of its Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) hypersonics, aiming to launch from new Vertical Launch Systems (VLS) and containers. The effort is led by the Portfolio Acquisition Executive Strategic Systems Programs, which oversees the development and sustainment of submarine-launched ballistic missiles. This expansion is expected to increase production rates of CPS hypersonics.
The expansion of CPS deployment methods is significant as it enhances the Navy's capabilities in hypersonic warfare, providing more flexibility and increasing production rates. This development has strategic implications for the US military's ability to counter emerging threats.
