Fijáos qué burrada. La mayoría de programas empezaron en 2017, cuando EEUU varió su enfoque hacia China y Rusia y vieron que estaban más avanzados en ese campo:

USA has funded 70 efforts to develop hypersonic missiles, and related technologies, between fiscal years 2015 and 2024 totalling nearly $15 billion

The majority of this funding is for product development and potential fielding of prototype offensive hypersonic weapons,” says the GAO. “Additionally, it includes substantial investments in developing technologies for next generation hypersonic weapons and a smaller proportion aimed at countering hypersonic threats.”
Over 60% of the hypersonic development efforts started after FY2017, around the time when it became clear that China and Russia’s missile development had leapt ahead of the USA’s.
...
The US Air Force (USAF), US Army, and US Navy (USN) have five product efforts underway to develop offensive prototypes. There are no hypersonic weapons in production yet.

Quince mil millones.... Yo hay veces que no me gasto eso en desayunar fuera..... Y esto en un campo relativamente marginal por mas importancia que tenga en el futuro.

Es lo que he dicho muchas veces de que nadie puede igualar el gasto en I+D+i de EEUU. Que entre varios intentos fallidos sacará también tecnologías disruptivas (game-changer) antes que nadie. Es de lógica. Y las otras dos potencias no tanto pero también. Eso sí, uno a cambio de no tener sanidad pública, ni educación pública... y otros a cambio de ser dictaduras, claro. Nadie da duros a cuatro pesetas.

The first booster flight test of the Air Force’s AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon failed April 5. In a release issued April 6, the service acknowledged the failure is a “setback” for hypersonic progress, but said the test still provided “valuable information” for the program’s development.

The test, which was conducted at Point Mugu Sea Range, Calif., was supposed to be the first time ARRW fired its booster vehicle and flew on its own, but the missile did not “complete its launch sequence” and remained on the B-52H Stratofortress. The bomber then returned to Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.
