Comparison of Ballistic Missile and Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (C-HGB) Flight Trajectories for the LRHW Program Scramjet-powered hypersonic cruise missile. A hypersonic weapon is a weapon capable of travelling at hypersonic speed, defined as above Mach 5, or above 5 times the speed of sound.
Hypersonic missiles, like the Kinzhal rockets deployed by the Russian Air Force, are thought to represent the next generation of arms because they can move at such exceptionally high velocities.
Australia, UK and US to collaborate on rapid rockets after Moscow claims to be firing its own in Ukraine
A hypersonic glide vehicle is usually launched with a ballistic first stage, then deploys wings and switches to hypersonic flight as it re-enters the atmosphere, allowing the final stage to evade existing missile defense systems which were designed for ballistic-only missiles.
The Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), also known as Dark Eagle [9] is a intermediate-range surface-to-surface boost-glide hypersonic weapon being developed for use by the United States Army. The United States Navy intends to procure a ship/submarine-launched variant of the missile as part of the service's Intermediate-Range Conventional ...
Russia claims to be equipping Yasen-class nuclear submarines with Zircon rockets as war in Ukraine drags on
The missile effectively surfs on its own hypersonic shockwaves, generating lift without the increased drag that wings create. The U.S. tested similar designs on the experimental X-51 from 2005 to ...
A hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) is a type of warhead for ballistic missiles that can maneuver and glide at hypersonic speed. It is used in conjunction with ballistic missiles to significantly change their trajectories after launch.
