Hypersonic Systems: The Challenge of High-Speed Maneuver

A technical and strategic study on the shift toward hypersonic flight, the complexity of glide vehicles, and the development of integrated endo-atmospheric interceptors.

The emergence of hypersonic systems defines the new boundary of kinetic warfare, characterized by extreme speeds and unpredictable flight trajectories. Hypersonic vehicles, capable of sustaining Mach 5 or greater, represent a disruptive departure from the predictable arcs of traditional ballistic missiles. By operating within the upper layers of the atm…
