B-21 refueling. Very high res image, i recommend opening the image and zooming around. A lot of detail to be seen.

At least something that will get into production but the footprint look way bigger than the UH-60 Black Hawk that it is replacing.The Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) will be named the MV-75 Cheyenne II as announced by the Army today. Not much else to report really, just figured I would post this announcement.
Bell posted this image to Twitter of the Cheyenne II which to my mind is a new rendering and probably represents the actual production version of the Cheyenne II.

The original Cheyenne was the AH-56 Cheyenne which was a Lockheed attack helicopter from the mid to late 60's. The AH-56 was cancelled before adoption.

A short-term funding boost means the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) can shave four years off the development schedule for the Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI), the agency’s director told lawmakers April 15. “We are accelerating GPI from 2035 to 2031 and bringing a land-based capability to the fight...
The US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has a $475-million contract modification to Northrop Grumman to continue developing and refining its counter-hypersonic Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI) design on an accelerated timeline.
Northrop Grumman’s purpose-built design includes advanced technologies such as a seeker for threat tracking and hit to kill accuracy, a re-ignitable energy flexible upper stage used for threat containment, and a dual engagement mode to engage threats across a wide range of altitudes.
- Breakthroughs in advanced seekers for threat tracking to support hit-to-kill accuracy
- Dual aero and rocket motor guided kill vehicle for low and high-altitude capability
- Rapid reloadable and modular software design
- Energy flexible propulsion for maximum threat containment of current and future threats

If they want to properly test this against glide phase targets they need to have a pool of target missiles.
There is ARRW's glide vehicle, LRHW/CPS's C-HGB, and very soon, HACM.If they want to properly test this against glide phase targets they need to have a pool of target missiles.
US and Israel can barely intercept supersonic missiles a quarter of the time and we're supposed to believe they'll be able to intercept hypersonic missiles?There is ARRW's glide vehicle, LRHW/CPS's C-HGB, and very soon, HACM.
Even a 10% interception rate is useful. Missile defense is hard.US and Israel can barely intercept supersonic missiles a quarter of the time and we're supposed to believe they'll be able to intercept hypersonic missiles?
