Bryon Hargis(@hargsb):Three years ago, we started working a clean sheet design for an affordabe hypersonic weapon. Now we're partnering with @Saronic to launch Blackbeard from an unmanned surface vessel, the first of many such partnerships. Excited to go offshore in 2027.

We're excited to join forces with @Castelion to integrate the Blackbeard hypersonic missile with our Marauder MUSV, demonstrating a first-of-its-kind maritime hypersonic launch capability. By pairing autonomous maritime platforms with hypersonics, we are advancing a more distributed and survivable approach to deterrence. Together, we're working to increase capability and capacity by combining autonomous maritime and hypersonic strike capabilities that are more affordable, scalable, and faster to field. With a demonstration targeted for 2027, both companies are investing in the production infrastructure needed to deliver these systems to the warfighter at greater scale and speed. Read more here:
