Face of Warfare*
Missiles and aircraft zipping around at Mach five and above could
dramatically change how military forces attack and defend.
Imagine an enemy deciding to attack from 1,000 miles away. Now, imagine you
have less than 15 minutes to react and may not even see their missile
coming in the first place. This is the potential threat posed by so-called
“hypersonic weapons,” which can fly as fast as a mile a second and low
enough to evade many existing defenses.
