Hypersonic
The world of missiles is fundamentally changing
Current
- 550mph (Tomahawk)
Hypersonic
- Speeds of Mach 5 or higher (~1 mile per second)
- Theoretically capable of >Mach 10
- Tests have demonstrated range of 1,200 miles/2,000kms
- Cannot be intercepted by current defense systems

Hypersonic
Hypersonic Flight Raises the Bar for Embedded Electronics.
Hypersonic
Hypersonic is an across-the-board revolution
Matching and overcoming hypersonic threats will demand technology advances across three broad areas: (1) propulsion systems, (2) airframe materials, and (3) embedded electronics. While most R&D spending is targeting the first two areas, it is clear that innovative improvements in embedded electronics are key to creating fully functional hypersonic systems.
