US’ ‘Top Secret’ Hypersonic Weapons Program Could Unleash ‘Mayhem’ On Enemies With Different Payloads

New details on the US Air Force’s highly secretive Mayhem hypersonic air vehicle program have come to light. Reports suggest that it will provide a modular experimental design that can be configured to carry one of two different kinds of payloads for strike missions, or a sensor package to enable it to conduct “responsive” intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, or ISR, sorties.

According to defense writer Joseph Trevithick, Mayhem was previously believed to be “focused, at least in part, on acquiring testbeds to support work on advanced high-speed jet engines like the ones that have reportedly been in development for proposed hypersonic aircraft such as Lockheed Martin’s SR-72”. The new information about Mayhem was contained in a contract document that the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) posted online on December 14, 2021.
