Budget figures
No FY2026 R-1/P-1 request line for this program element. The FY2026 President's Budget request workbook carries no FY2026 line for it; its last workbook figure is FY2024. The PB2026 J-book detail below does carry an FY2026 row for this line, recorded as zero. A workbook blank and a documented zero are different records, and this page shows both. An absent line is not by itself an ending — PB2026 renumbered program elements at scale across the services and defense agencies, so this work may continue under a different number. No successor is linked for this line: this site's program-lineage layer holds no keyed edge pointing forward from here. That is an absence in this site's lineage layer, not a finding about the program: if the J-book narrative on this page describes a realignment, it is quoted below in the document's own words, and this note does not restate it.

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Asked vs spent: the PB2023 book requested $431.9M for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $112.0M as actual total obligation authority — $319.9M below the request. 112.0 − 431.9 = -319.9 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Hypersonics Prototyping
The Hypersonics Prototyping program enabled integration and demonstration of emerging hypersonic technologies in an operational or operational-like environment to capitalize on successful laboratory hypersonic research and development efforts with high warfighter priority. Integration and demonstration of hypersonic prototypes also allowed leadership to make informed strategy and resource decisions for future programs based on the results of such hypersonic prototype demonstrations. Hypersonic Prototyping enabled a key linkage between research and development in the lab and fielding advanced technologies to the warfighter. Under this program, Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) accelerated the technology transfer of hypersonic technologies to enable a responsive, long range strike capability. Throughout this program element was future hypersonic development, which incubated and matured new technologies, processes, and resources for the development and demonstration of hypersonic technology including, but not limited to, infrastructure advancements, digital engineering, open systems architecture, modeling and simulation, analytics, and high performance computing environments. Investing in hypersonics development enabled the collection of valuable data, built capacity and capability, allowing hypersonic programs to leverage and build upon each other, and projects the overall technology forward. This program element included all necessary expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2024 $1.13 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, in FY2025 $0.00 million was forecasted for civilian pay expenses. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
Mission — Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW)
The Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) project integrated Air Force and DARPA enabled system technologies into a prototype that demonstrated the viability of this concept to be fielded as a long range prompt strike capability. ARRW designed, developed, manufactured, and tested, a number of prototype vehicles to inform decisions concerning ARRW acquisition and production. Future hypersonics development will incubate and mature new technology, processes, and resources for the development and demonstration of hypersonic technology including, but not limited to, infrastructure advancements, digital engineering, open systems architecture, modeling and simulation, analytics, and high performance computing environments. Investing in hypersonics development will enable the collection of valuable data, building of capacity and capability, allowing hypersonic programs to leverage and build upon each other, and project the overall technology forward. In FY 2022, PE 0101101F, Project ARRW00/AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon, efforts were transferred to PE 0604033F, Hypersonics Prototyping, Project 643882, Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon, in order to mitigate the testing shortfall (PE 0604033F remains RDT&E only). In FY 2026, ARRW Procurement is being added to PE 0101101F. The total cost of the ARRW Rapid Prototyping Middle Tier of Acquisition effort was 1,730.073 million, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. This program element included all necessary expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2024 $1.130 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, in FY2025 0.00 million was forecasted for civilian pay expenses.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (1)
Air Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW)
Integrated Air Force and DARPA enabled system technologies into a prototype that demonstrated the viability of this concept to be fielded as a long range prompt strike capability. ARRW designed, developed, manufactured, and tested, a number of prototype vehicles to inform decisions concerning ARRW acquisition, production, and leave behind capability. Post-MTA technology efforts, such as hardware upgrades, design trades, and testing were used with remaining FY24 funding to aid with Hypersonic enterprise tech development.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Hypersonics Prototyping. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
