Mach 5 and beyond: US plans next-gen hypersonic missile with longer range, greater speed
The US military is spearheading efforts to develop groundbreaking hypersonic cruise missile technology through DARPA. The goal is to achieve unprecedented advancements in speed, range, and durability for these weapons. While older systems transition to production, innovative designs are under scrutiny. Emphasis is placed on cost-effectiveness and the capacity for mass production to effectively counteract advanced enemy air defense systems.
