| China’s Hypersonic Missiles Not Invulnerable to Missile Defense |
| 2014-12-25 |
| Responding to China’s recent hypersonic missile tests, MDAA (Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance) Chairman Riki Ellison stated that the Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGVs) could be vulnerable to ballistic missile defense (BMD) given adequate investments gonna' have to wait until sometime after 2016, I fear. to upgrade existing U.S. BMD systems. According to the MDAA’s website, current U.S. BMD systems use mathematical algorithms to target a ballistic missile as it follows a relatively predictable ballistic trajectory. HGVs, the MDAA Chairman explains, “defeat this logic by not travelling in a ballistic path…maneuvering at hypersonic speeds inside the atmosphere” to their targets. |
