I believe you're thinking about the SCRAMjet prototype that crashed off Australia a few months ago... This is completely different.

This is controllable all the way to the target... instead of just coming in on a nice, smooth arc, it can change direction, which makes it harder to intercept.

First proto is lost.
Hmmm, loss of signal. Satelite shootin' will be the start of the next big one.

BBC News - US military loses contact with hypersonic aircraft
"The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa), which is funding the HTV-2 programme and overseeing the tests, said more than nine minutes of data was collected "before an anomaly caused loss of signal".

"Initial indications are that the aircraft impacted the Pacific Ocean along the planned flight path," Darpa said in a statement on its website."
