The Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) is a scramjet-powered hypersonic air-launched cruise missile project, the successor of the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) and the SCIFiRE hypersonic programs.[1]

Technology developed for the HAWC demonstrator was used to influence the design of the HACM, a U.S. Air Force Program of Record to create a scramjet-powered hypersonic missile it could deploy as an operational weapon.[2]

The contract to develop HACM further was awarded to Raytheon in September 2022.[3] HACM will use a Northrop Grumman scramjet.[4][5]

The system will give the US military "tactical flexibility to employ fighters to hold high-value, time-sensitive targets at risk, while maintaining bombers for other strategic targets."[6][7][8] Following the U.S. Air Force's decision to not pursue procurement of the AGM-183 ARRW in March 2023, the HACM became the service's only hypersonic weapon program.[9]
