The Army has zeroed out funding for the Strategic Long-Range Cannon science and technology effort to focus on other long-range precision fires priorities.
The Army put an autonomous High Mobility Artillery Rocket Launcher through its paces at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, to see how it might help a future fighting force in the Pacific.
The Army could see demonstrations of hypersonics and ramjet technology to get longer ranges for its precision-strike capability as early as 2019, according to the Long-Range Precision Fires modernization team lead.
