Scramjet-powered hypersonic cruise missile. A hypersonic weapon is a weapon capable of travelling at hypersonic speed, defined as between 5 and 25 times the speed of sound or about 1 to 5 miles per second (1.6 to 8.0 km/s). [1]
15 kwi 2022 · All of the intercontinental ballistic missiles in the world’s nuclear arsenals are hypersonic, reaching about 15,000 mph (24,140 kph), or about 4 miles (6.4 km) per second at their...
18 gru 2023 · The Department of Defense is racing to build a constellation of satellites for tracking elusive hypersonic missiles. As these first satellites enter orbit, how should policymakers measure success? In a new report, CSIS unpacks the tradeoffs involved and pitfalls to avoid.

12 gru 2022 · The United States Air Force has successfully tested its first prototype hypersonic missile, the AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon, or ARRW.
28 paź 2021 · Hypersonic missiles travel at more than five times the speed of sound in the upper atmosphere — or about 6,200km per hour. This is slower than an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) but the shape of a hypersonic glide vehicle allows it to manoeuvre toward a target or away from defences.
