In aerial combat, speed has always been a key to victory. By approaching the enemy from the rear faster, it is possible to shoot down the enemy. Hence, many countries have obsessed with technology capable of generating faster speeds since the use of airplanes in wars. The hypersonic fighter the United States currently focuses on exemplifies this desire.

The United States has recently selected partners to develop such hypersonic fighters and announced that it will embark on full-scale development. What is the intention of the United States, which is already focusing on the development of various hypersonic weapons?

Various Companies Participating
70 Hypersonic Projects

Several defense companies, including the United States, are participating in this hypersonic vehicle project. These include Boeing, which supplies most U.S. aircraft, and the start-up Hermeus, which specializes in researching and developing hypersonic vehicles. And the United States selected Australia’s Hypersonic Launch Systems as a partner.

In addition, the United States is currently conducting over 70 projects to develop weapons applying hypersonic flight technology. This is presumably a result of an obsessive pursuit to regain the lead in hypersonic technology, which China and Russia have taken over. This is because China and Russia have successfully deployed hypersonic missiles in actual combat through the DF-17 and Avangard missiles, respectively.

China is Developing Drones
Can the U.S. Regain its Superiority?

China is even developing a strike drone that is capable of hypersonic flight, unveiled at a military parade. As intercontinental ballistic missiles did in the past, hypersonic technology is emerging as a new asymmetric power in the new Cold War. South Korea is also reportedly researching this technology on its own.

Can the United States regain its technological superiority through various attempts? It seems necessary to pay attention to the new weapons that the United States will show in the future and the moves it will make through them.
