        Hypersonics

        Hypersonic weaponry provides unprecedented speed, maneuverability and durability, which are critical to maintaining our battlefield advantage.

        Hypersonic weapons are those which travel in excess of Mach 5 — five times the speed of sound. Such weapons are characterized by a combination of speed, low altitude and maneuverability to provide high survivability, and to get inside an opponent’s decision-making loop. Given the magnitude of peer competitors’ investments in this realm, it is critical that the U.S. develop efficient, affordable hypersonic capabilities at scale to preserve its offensive and defensive battlefield advantage.
