The Air Force and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency conducted a successful hypersonic missile test last month. The Pentagon decided not to announce the test of the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept for about two weeks to avoid inflaming tensions with Russia, according to a defense official. The free-flight test involved the version of the HAWC created by Aerojet Rocketdyne and was released off the West Coast in March, according to a defense official. The release said the missile was boosted until its scramjet engine exploded and sped up to Mach 5. It flew for more than 300 nautical miles and maintained its speed for an extended period of time. CNN reported details of the test and the reason it was not immediately announced. The defense official said that the HAWC test took place a week after Russia said it used one of its own hypersonic weapons against Ukraine. He compared the Pentagon's decision not to reveal the test to its decision to delay the test. The Pentagon wanted to avoid a misunderstanding over the Minuteman test after Russian President Vladimir Putin put his nation's nuclear forces on higher alert. The head of the U.S. European Command confirmed last week that Russia had launched several hypersonic weapons against targets in Ukraine. The March test marked the second successful flight of the missile, following a September test of the version of the missile. The program is analyzing the data from the flight test. The second design that was demonstrated during the flight test will allow the warfighter to choose the right capabilities to dominate the battlefield. Hypersonic weapons can travel at tremendous speeds and are very maneuverable. Because they are able to change course midflight, they are much harder to track and shoot down than conventional missiles, making them capable of penetrating enemy defenses. Air Force hypersonics won after a string of setbacks. The Air Force's main hypersonic program, the AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon, or ARRW, saw testing failures and delays in 2021, that prompted Congress to strike nearly $161 million in procurement funds in the 2022, spending bill and divert half of that amount. The Air Force wants to increase funding for hypersonic prototyping, but doesn't want to spend any money next year.

You are not the only one who wants to retire as soon as possible but not knowing how much money is enough. Don't get me wrong, $800,000 in retirement accounts plus $400,000 in nonretirement assets is a lot of money, but not if you need that money to last you both of your lifetimes. Do you want to retire right now or do you want to do something different in retirement? As soon as the first bombs went off, Aleksandra knew she needed an emergency plan for her daughter.
