The document also identified amounts for certain advanced technologies, including * $3.8 billion for hypersonic technologies (e.g., the Army's Long Range Hypersonic Weapon, or LRHW; the Navy's Conventional Prompt Strike, or CPS; and the Air Force's Advanced Rapid Response Weapon, or ARRW); * $2.3 billion for various microelectronics efforts; * $874 million for artificial intelligence activities; and * $398 million for 5G wireless networks.
