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.
The AGM-183 ARRW ("Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon") is [5] a hypersonic air-to-ground ballistic missile planned for use by the United States Air Force.Developed by Lockheed Martin, the boost-glide vehicle is propelled to a maximum speed of more than Mach 5 [6] by a rocket motor before gliding toward its target.
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 ...
This hypersonic glide vehicle (also known as Objekt 4202)—it hitches a ride on a conventional ballistic missile, then detaches to “glide” at hypersonic speeds toward its target—is a new ...
Hypersonic glide vehicles travel at speeds greater than Mach 5, or approximately 4,000 miles per hour, making them difficult to detect and intercept in time. They can also maneuver and vary ...
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 ...
Hypersonic Technology Vehicle HTV-2 reentry (artist's impression) Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 (HTV-2) is an experimental hypersonic glide vehicle developed as part of the DARPA Falcon Project designed to fly in the Mach 20 range.
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]
