"The real military game-changer: Hypersonic weapons 101" Topic

"…NASA defines the hypersonic regime as speeds greater than Mach 5 but less than Mach 25. It further divides this speed regime into two parts. One is the 'high-hypersonic' speed range between Mach 10 and Mach 25. The other is the range between Mach 5 and Mach 10 referred to simply as the hypersonic speed range (this is about 5300 to 10,600 kmh). The latter is the speed regime where most of the recent discussion of hypersonic weapons has been focused.

Ballistic missiles with ranges between about 300 and 1000 km travel in this speed range, but they generally don't travel long distances through the atmosphere at these speeds. Usually when hypersonic weapons are discussed people are referring to machines that can sustain flight in the Mach 5 to 10 speed range for a significant distance and period of time measured in minutes. For perspective, the Concorde supersonic transport cruised at Mach 2…"

However, if the incoming missile can maneuver, the interceptor will need to maneuver as well.

Man, the tech required for one missile to intercept another missile at hypersonic speeds, while both are maneuvering . . .

@ TNE2300 – Thank you, I think I understand it now. I'm going to go lie down now.

…which is call "error"…or, if there is a deviation, arrow.

Simple algebra, or maybe bobgebra. : – )
