On March 18, the U.S. Army released its FY2020 budget proposal which laid out plans for the development of three new missile programs. These include the land-based “Long Range Hypersonic Weapon” (LRHW), a “Mobile Medium Range Missile” (MMRM), and a “Future Interceptor” designed to counter lower tier air and missile threats. Over the next five years, the Army has budgeted $1.2 billion to develop the LRHW, $900 million for the MMRM, and $232.9 million for the Future Interceptor.
