Une retraite pacifique pour les célèbres missiles Phoenix qui étaient emportés par les F-14 désormais retirés du service actif
Certains pourraient être transformés en banc d'essai volant hypersonique pour tester des matériels, pour le compte de la NASA.

Résumé : An over view of research into a low cost hypersonic research flight test capability to increase the amount of hypersonic flight data to help bridge the large developmental gap between ground testing analysis and major flight demonstrator Xplanes is provided. The major objectives included develop an air launched missile booster research testbed accurately deliver research payloads through programmable guidance to hypersonic test conditions low cost a high flight rate minimum of two flights per year and utilize surplus air launched missiles and NASA aircraft.
