Global Supersonic & Hypersonic Weapons – Trends and insights 1. In the air domain the sale of combat aircraft is predicated on the associated Supersonic and Hypersonic

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

2. The perceived efficacy of Supersonic & Hypersonic Weapons has had effects reaching beyond Beijing

and Moscow. 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.

3. Several nations, principally China, Russia and the United States are actively engaged in the development of Global Supersonic & Hypersonic weapons capable of flight at speeds of Mach 5 and above. When combined with Developments in C4ISR, their use has the potential to drastically reduce the strike time against a broad target set.

4. A high probability of reaching the target is required if only a small number of the Supersonic & hypersonic

Weapon is to be used to engage. If a greater number is to be used, then a lower probability for each round reaching the target can be accepted.

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

exist in tension to one another, with mission designs trading off accuracy, range and speed depending on the requirement, type and size of the warhead.

Findings Efficient aerodynamic lift-to-drag (L/D) configurations in guided missiles for high Mach numbers are not efficient for low Mach numbers. A compromise in efficiency is required. The United States Armed Forces is revving up testing of hypersonic cruise missiles. There are currently 5 active hypersonic 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 on Chip. Areas for technology 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 warfighter. The goal is to provide 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-Defined 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 guided missiles and their 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 fire control software.

Conclusions CHEVRON-DOUBLE-RIGHT Russia and China will increase export of Anti-Aircraft missile systems with dual role features of area in air defense as well as medium range anti-aircraft engagement capabilities.

CHEVRON-DOUBLE-RIGHT Major missile Original Equipment Manufacturers are developing algorithm technology that supports modular open architectures for guided missiles. These algorithms are adaptable to physical changes in the design of a guided missile and allow subsystems to be independently procured and rapidly integrated into the system.

CHEVRON-DOUBLE-RIGHT Several upcoming missile programs combine the capabilities of 3 separate systems (two forward firing systems and one drop/glide system) into a single product line in order to benefit the logistics chain.

CHEVRON-DOUBLE-RIGHT New electrically powered solid-state lasers (SSLs) may be the most promising alternative for laser weapons that can be mounted on large mobile platforms such as surface vessels.

CHEVRON-DOUBLE-RIGHT Russia and China are the top exporters of Supersonic & Hypersonic Weapons. India and Saudi Arabia are the top two importers. The U.S. market is the largest for Supersonic and Hypersonic weapons with China being the second largest.

HYPERSONIC WEAPON SYSTEMS

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 are not particularly hard to intercept, but it would require advanced warning. What’s more, hypersonic weapons are difficult 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 orbit. And so, the U.S. would need to combine radar with a network of spacebased 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 of offensive hypersonic weapons. In August 2018, the country reportedly conducted the maiden flight of a new hypersonic test vehicle, named starry Sky 2 which boosts its speed by wave riding on its shockwaves. The vehicle reached Mach 505 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: Directed Energy Weapons – (DEW) is a ranged weapon that damages its target with highly focused Energy, including laser, microwaves, and particle beams. From the last decade, development of DEWs has gathered pace in the U.S., Russia, China and Germany among many other nations. Lasers are the most mature of the DEW 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 point of space would be advantageous.

The utility of space sensors has been studied for decades so the Pentagon has plenty of data to draw from. Electronic eyes in low-Earth orbit would be looking sideways at objects, “with the coldness of space 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 artificial intelligence and other advance technologies to process data and give commanders realtime updates. The data collected by the new sensor layer would be meshed with that from existing missile warning satellites and other sources of intelligence.

Glide Breaker – DARPA wants an interceptor that can stop weapons that are hypersonic. 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.

HYPERSONIC WEAPON SYSTEMS April 26 & 27, 2022

Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center Washington, D.C.

With both Russia and China aggressively developing & fielding Hypersonic Weapons, successful near-peer enemy global strike capabilities have been obtained.

With this in mind, American Conference Institute has created the National Summit on Hypersonic Weapons Systems, taking place April 26-27 in Washington, D.C. to take a deep dive into the necessity of hastening the procurement of hypersonic platforms as well as the testing and fielding steps that will provide the ability to maintain the balance of geopolitics.

Join key experts to explore and understand the DoD’s approach to the ongoing global proliferation of hypersonic weapons, as well as learn from senior level discussions on emerging opportunities, and needs and challenges within Hypersonic Weapon Systems technologies.

Key themes running throughout the summit include: • The Latest DoD Hypersonic Weapon Systems Posture, Programs & Emerging Capabilities and Opportunities for Industry • Advancements in Hypersonic Glide Vehicles Design & Long-Range SCRAMJET Missile Technologies • Hypersonic Defense Modular System Architecture and Industrial Engineering Challenges • Latest Advancements in the Fielding and Testing of Hypersonic Weapons • Counter Hypersonic Technologies and Platforms – Challenging the Adversarial Threats • Government/DoD and International Cooperation Plans and Policies to Maintain a Global Defensive Superiority
