SECTION TWO: Global Supersonic & Hypersonic Weapons Trends and Insight: In the air domain the sale of combat aircraft is predicated on the associated Supersonic and Hypersonic Weapons package.

The perceived efcacy of Supersonic & Hypersonic Weapons has had effects reaching beyond Beijing and Moscow.

A number of nations, principally China, Russia and the United States are actively engaged in the development of Global Supersonic &

A high probability of reaching the target is required if only a small number of the Supersonic & hypersonic Weapon is to be used to

Accuracy, range and speed are the design drivers for guided weaponry. These three performance criteria exist in

The aircraft per se is only part of the campaign. Also of signicance are the weapons on offer as part of any deal. As such a proposed weapons package, air-to-air and air-tosurface, can act as a discriminator in selecting a particular aircraft.

Several other states with a mature defense industrial base have also either independently developed or pursued development of such weapons in concert with a partner nation, while a wider pool of nations have bought off the shelf.

SECTION THREE: Major Findings: Efcient aerodynamic lift-to-drag (L/D) congurations in guided missiles for high Mach numbers are not efcient for low Mach numbers. numbers. A compromise in efciency is required The United States Forces is revving up testing of hypersonic cruise missiles. There areArmed currently 5 active hyperson hypersonic ic test programs in various stages of planning at the RTS [Ronald Regan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site] The United States, China, Russia and India are investing a major portion of their missile defense budget to redesign Kill Vehicles, Multi-Mode Seekers, New Propellants and Navigation Navigation on Chip. Areas for technology investment investment include: Persistent discrimination in the current and future MBDS sensor architecture; high power lasers; Multi-Object Kill Vehicle (MOKV) technology and other advance technology for high-risk/high-pay off breakthroughs. The advanced technology investments are informed by capability gap assessments and focus on concepts that bring upgraded capability to the warghter. The goal is to provide capabilities capabilities that enable the future BMDS to keep pace with new and evolving threats. The United States, China and Russia are developing guided missile technologies that address User-Dened capability gaps, while providing an innovative means of reducing the cost basis of guided missiles in general. These objectives are addressed by the development of a modular open architecture contrast for for guided missiles and their subsystems. subsystems. The primary obstacle to a modular open architecture lies not in the hardware, but in the underlying algorithms used in the development of guidance and control and re control software

SECTION SIX: Countering Supersonic and Hypersonic Weapons: The Armed forces in the United States and in the EU believe that the stage to knock out hypersonic weapons is during their relatively long cruise phase, in which they do not change course abruptly. Hypersonic missiles during that stage stage are not particularly hard to intercept, intercept, but it would require advanced warning. What’s more, hypersonic weapons weapons are difcult to track via existing space based sensors. Hypersonic weapons targets are 10 to 20 times dimmer than what the United States normally tracks by satellites in geostationary geostationary orbit. And so the U.S. would need to combine radar with a network of space based sensors to effectively track and target an adversary’s hypersonic weapons The urgency in developing a defense shield is driven by the fact that China is outpacing the United States in development development of offensive hypersonic weapons. weapons. In August 2018, the country reportedly conducted the maiden ight of a new hypersonic test vehicle, named starry Sky 2 which boosts its speed by by wave riding on its shockwaves. shockwaves. The vehicle reached Mach 505 for for more than six minutes and topped out at Mach 6. Some of the technologies that are now being considered as possible defenses against hypersonic weapons are: (please bold the yellow highlighted)

Directed Energy Weapons – (DEW) is a ranged weapon that that damages its target target with highly focused Energy, including laser, microwaves and and particle beams. From the last decade, development of DEWs have gathered pace in the U.S., Russia, China and Germany among many other nations. Lasers are the most mature of the DEW technologies, technologies, becoming smaller and more powerful over the years. Three categories of DEW’s are: • High Energy Laser Weapons (HEL) • Particle Beam Weapons • High Power Microwave Weapons (HPM)

Space Based Sensors  - To track hypersonic gliders, the vantage vantage point of space would be advantageous. The utility of space sensors has has been studied for decades so so the Pentagon has plenty of data to draw from. Electronic eyes in low-Earth orbit would would be looking sideways at objects, “with the coldness of space behind behind them”. A constellation of missile-tracking satellites in low and medium early orbits would add a new set of eyes to the existing missile shield in the U.S. The foundation of a space layer for missile defense would be satellites and sensors, but it would also need articial intelligence and other advance technologies to process data and give commanders real-time updates. The data collected by the the new sensor layer would be meshed with that from existing missile warning satellites and other sources of intelligence. interceptor that can stop weapons weapons that are hypersonic. Glide Breaker – DARPA wants an interceptor The agency has begun soliciting proposals for Glide Breaker, its project to stop boost-glide vehicles that are lofted high into the atmosphere atop a ballistic missile, and then glide down to Earth.

October 28-30, 2019 l Washington, D.C.

The major global super powers, the United States, Russia, and China are now engaged in a race to build and test hypersonic weapons, with the ultimate goal of deployment deployment capabilities. To win this race it is crucial to the United States that redundancies are eliminated, ideas are shared and that the best available technology is integrated to properly defend our global posture. At this summit we will engage with high level leadership in both government and industry for discussions on the future plans of the hypersonic capabilities capabilities of the United States. Along with programmatic programmatic overviews, integrational challenges and plans, we are also excited to bring procurement perspectives on the needs from both prime based integrators.
