The military says they find problems with the missile, but it is good, because the army will only adopted safe and able -bodied development. The US Army will not be able to assign the Dark Eagle hypersonic missile by the end of the financial year, which ends on September 30. However, it is likely to do so by the end of 2023. About it reports Defense News. Due to the cancellation of a critically important test of the Common Hypersonic Glide Body project is delayed.

The test, according to the Assistant Minister of the Army on Procurement, Logistics and Technology of Daja Bush, should be quite close to the working test, not the testing of development development. "We still have a path with a further test to get field opportunities by the end of the calendar 2023. We find problems. In fact, we are good that we find them," Bush said. He added that the army will not implement something until the installation is confident and it will be safe for use.

The hypersonic rocket will be able to overcome more than 6100 km per hour. At the same time, during the flight, it will maneuver at different heights, which will complicate its detection. The Dark Eagle Complex consists of a starting installation, a guide and a heat protection screen. The American Defense Corporation Lockheed Martin is engaged in the integration of hypersonic missiles based on a truck.
