Hyper Velocity Gliding Projectile (HVGP) (島嶼防衛用高速滑空弾, Tōsyobōeiyō-kōsoku-kakkūdan) is a Japanese hypersonic glide vehicle being intended to be used as a hypersonic weapon in defending of remote islands. [1] [2]
China. Chinese DF-ZF hypersonic glide vehicle mounted on the DF-17 ballistic missile.. DF-ZF (developed and deployed) / Mach 5–10 [5]; GDF-600 (concept) In addition to a unified payload the Guangdong Aerodynamic Research Academy claims to be exploring fitting the conceptual weapon with various submunitions including what it calls a patrol projectile.
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. [1]
One of the most significant is the DF-ZF hypersonic glide missile, which is carried by the country’s DF-17 “aircraft-carrier killer” rocket. While U.S. carrier groups have defenses that can ...

The Navy’s current hypersonic weapon program is a hypersonic glide vehicle weapon called Conventional Prompt Strike, which, at least initially, appears primarily designed to hit static surface ...
The main mission of the F127 will be to protect an operational group or area against threats from the air (Air-and-Missile-Defence (AMD)), including in the future against ballistic missiles and hypersonic glide vehicles.
China's DongFeng-17 missiles, pictured here, can be equipped with hypersonic glide vehicles, which a team of Chinese scientists posited can be improved through a skip-gliding technique.
