WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Navy and Army tested hypersonic weapon component prototypes on Wednesday that will inform development of new weapons, the Pentagon said, calling the three tests successful.

The tests occurred the same day that U.S. President Joe Biden said he was concerned about Chinese hypersonic weapons.
