Things are getting interesting as some nations pursue hypersonic missiles which are defined as missiles that can reach Mach 5+. That is pretty damn fast, but I can help you visualize how fast Mach 5 is. Our M1 Tanks sabot round travels one mile per second. It is designed to go through 2 feet of steel, but I digress. One mile per second is Mach 5. You have ten seconds to defend against Mach 5 missiles ten miles away.
Here are some questions I have:
- How far can future hypersonic missiles travel?
- Will they be self guided or will external networks guide the missiles?
- How will they deal with the curvature of the earth with hypersonic missiles.
- Can we shoot rockets into space and attack from above?
- When we develop reliable long range hypersonic missiles what will our production
capability be like? What are China's and Russia's production capabilities?
- How do you defend against hypersonic missiles? I will say it is a fact that we are
working on new defensive weapons. We have too. I don't know if the Phalanx System
could shoot down a hypersonic missile. Maybe lasers, if it is not cloudy. Maybe like the
Israeli Trophy System which will be mounted on our tanks to shoot down missiles,
RPGs, and other flying munitions. The system shoots a large shotgun blast when the
threat is a few meters from the tank thus destroying it.
Ok my brain is fried now.

-Hyper-sonic missles have an extremely hot shock-wave proceeding them, one hot enough to be both viable and one that radiates across the spectrum like a electromagnetic flare (google navy rail gun videos)
- That plasma also with targeting systems on the missile just like it does with the communications of spacecraft in reentry,
- In that environment ECCM (Electronic Counter-countermeasures) is going to be a royal PITA, and the US Navy is very damned good at ECM (Electronic CounterMeasures)
-They are aircraft so they handle the curve of the earth just like a aircraft does.
Phalanx and Trophy like systems just turn the projectile in to hyper-sonic shrapnel that is too close to bleed off the kinetic energy.
-Really high powered lazers do not carte about the weather at all since the blow the atmosphere itself out of the way turning the atoms in the way to plasma, if the range is long or the where really wet you have to fire one beam to clear the way and another to follow, but that is a matter of microseconds.
Mach 5 is a mile a second, Lasers work at 186,000 miles a second so the missile is barely moving in comparison,
Really big laser weapons are on the edge of entering service now

The Navy Is Getting Really Into Lasers
Soon, nine destroyers will carry directed energy weapons.

MAJ Ken Landgren - I have always had an interest, in both science and sci-fi, I spend as much time on that as n most do watching sports. . Being a Nerd comes in useful occasionally

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - It's fun and great to have passion. I am learning so much in my endeavor to help people with PTSD. I am finding out that I get the CPT Obvious moments that are so simple that they are silly, but nobody mentions them.
I had a revelation a few days ago. If I can help PTSD people kill most of their symptoms, it means they healed 150 degrees. It is so simple, but I have yet to hear or read what was aforementioned by me. I am tickled because I am more perceptive of the task to eliminate symptoms.
