Lockheed Martin’s hypersonic Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) is wrapping its critical design review.
The USAF awarded a $780 million contract to Lockheed Martin 2017 to develop ARRW. It is a so-called boost glide hypersonic system, a vehicle which uses a rocket to accelerate its payload to high speeds, before the payload separates from the rocket and glides unpowered to its destination at hypersonic speeds up to Mach 20.
The USAF has said it wants ARRW is to reach early operational capability by FY2022.
...
Progress on ARRW comes only a few weeks after the USAF cancelled its contract with Lockheed Martin to develop its Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW), another boost-glide hypersonic missile. The HCSW development contract was awarded to Lockheed Martin in 2018 for $928 million... HCSW employees will be reassigned to other hypersonic missile projects.

Japan confirms development of new air-launched anti-ship missile
The new ASM, which will be the successor to the Type 91 ASM that currently arms Japan's P-3C Orions and the P-1 aircraft, is set to be an extended-range version of the Type 12 ground-launched ASM in service with the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF).
Japanese media have reported that the missile's range is expected to be extended to up to 400 km.

Parece que el Pentágono eligió la ARRW sobre el HCSW sobre todo por ser un tamaño menor:

...
Boeing declines to disclose the cruise missile’s exact range, but says that it is comparable to more expensive and sophisticated cruise missiles, such as JASSM, which has a range of 200nm (370km).
The cruise missile also doesn’t have a stealthy shape and can’t fly below-radar, nap-of-the-earth routes like the JASSM. However, it could be networked with other weapons to autonomous attack a target in a swarm, similar to the Golden Horde programme’s effort to network gliding GBU-39B Small Diameter Bombs.
