Kingston Reif wrote an excellent article “Trump Increases Budget for Banned Missiles” at the Arms Control Association website, on May 2019 at https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2019-05/news/trump-increases-budget-banned-missiles. Parts (with some bolding and redding by Pete) include:
“The Trump administration has requested nearly $100 million in fiscal year 2020 to develop three new missile systems that would exceed the range limits of the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, a pact the United States [exited on August 2, 2019]
... The budget submission includes $76 million in the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s Prompt Global Strike Capability Development account to develop a mobile, conventionally armed, land-based cruise missile and a ballistic missile system...”
...Defense Department officials told reporters in March that the Pentagon is planning to test [1]a ground-launched variant of the Navy’s Tomahawk sea-launched cruise missile that has a range of about 1,000 kilometers in August and [2] a ground-launched ballistic missile with a range of 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers in November [2019]. [Is this a Pershing III or extended range AtacMS?]
...The officials estimated that the new cruise missile could be deployed in 18 months while the new ballistic missile would not be ready for at least five years....”
“...[officials] noted that there have been no discussions with allies in Europe and Asia about hosting the missiles. One official said the new ballistic missile could be deployed in Guam, a U.S. territory, which would allow the missile to strike targets in mainland China.
[3]“A New, Third Weapon
The budget request also contains $20 million for the Army to begin development of a mobile, land-based, medium-range missile“that can attack specific threat vulnerabilities in order to penetrate, dis-integrate, and exploit in the strategic and deep maneuver areas.” The Army is planning to request to total of $900 million for the missile through fiscal year 2024.”
“...the congressional aide confirmed that the weapon would fall within the range prohibited by the INF Treaty. The Defense Department classifies a medium-range missile as having a range between 1,000 and 3,000 kilometers.
In addition, the Army is pursuing [4+] several other ground-launched missile systems with ranges that could exceed 500 kilometers.”
“Gen. John Murray, the chief of Army Futures Command, told Congress last September that the service is “looking very hard and starting down the path of hypersonics and then also looking at what we call the [5] Strategic Long-Range Cannon, which conceivably could have a range of up to 1,000 nautical miles.”
“...Several countries, including Poland, have made it clear that any deployment of the new systems in Europe would have to be approved by all NATO members...”
