Hypersonics
The next major strategic weapons capability for long-range precision fires
The hypersonic threat is very real — and we need to equip the warfighter to combat it. With a history of providing rapid, novel, and creative solutions, Leidos is a trusted partner in weapons systems research and development. Building systems that can travel at Mach 5 or higher, these weapons will be delivering residual combat capability by 2023 to counter and gain a lead on our adversarial technological advances in this field.
The Common-Hypersonic Glide Body
Producing glide body assemblies for use by the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and the Missile Defense Agency in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories. Developing Hypersonic Thermal Protection System (TPS) prototypes for the U.S. Army's Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office.

Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon
The Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) program will introduce a new class of ultrafast, maneuverable, long-range missiles that can launch from ground platforms. The LRHW prototype includes the new C-HGB, an existing, refurbished trailer and truck to be modified as a new launcher, and an existing Army command and control system.
