  5. Closing the Gap in US Cruise Missile Defenses

    Moreover, as cruise missiles (particularly anti-ship cruise missiles) increase in sophistication, and are combined with ballistic missile attacks, they will be harder to counter. Given current technology, the issue is less strategy than it is resource constraints — there are simply not enough systems to go around.

  6. U.S. Challenged to Defend Against Chinese Missiles

    The missile defense architecture needs to be flexible and capable of dealing with a wide range of threats including ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and hypersonics. Some modifications to the existing command, control, battle management and communication system, or C2BMC, will be needed, he said.

  7. Complex Air Defense: Countering the Hypersonic Missile Threat

    Watch the Event. Hypersonic weapons combine the speed of ballistic missiles with the maneuverability and detectability challenges of cruise missiles, leaving little time to react. In the past five years, Russia, China, and others have accelerated their development of hypersonic missiles to threaten U.S. forces in the homeland and abroad.

  12. Hitting a Bullet with a Bullet: Counter-Hypersonic Systems

    Flavors of Danger. Hypersonic weapons come in two categories: Hypersonic cruise missiles, which are powered by high-performance, air-breathing engines known as scramjets; Hypersonic boost-glide weapons, which comprise a maneuverable glide vehicle launched on a ballistic missile or rocket booster; Both types of weapons are notionally preprogrammed to fly to a specified target.

  18. Fact Sheet: Ballistic vs. Cruise Missiles

    Ballistic missiles have three stages of flight: Boost Phase begins at launch and lasts until the rocket engine (s) stops firing and the missile begins unpowered flight. Depending on the missile, boost phase can last three to five minutes. Most of this phase takes place in the atmosphere. Midcourse Phase begins after the rocket (s) stops firing.
