In this two part article, two hypersonic experts explain:

• What hypersonic weapons are and why they pose such a tremendous threat
• The challenge of developing effective hypersonic defense systems
  
• They way forward - emerging solutions and approaches for countering hypersonic threats
• Who's developing hypersonic weapons and where they currently stand in the new, hypersonic arms race
  

Capable of traveling at 5X the speed of sound as well as highly maneuverable and precise, hypersonic missiles are not only the deadliest weapons ever created, as of now, they’re unstoppable.  Though the U.S. military is of course developing its own arsenal of hypersonic weapons, the importance of simultaneously designing, fielding and deploying sound defense systems cannot be overstated.

With this in mind, the DoD is investing hundreds of millions of dollars into designing, fielding & deploying counter hypersonic technology. To learn more about where the money is going and which agencies are currently holding the purse strings, DOWNLOAD our latest budget infographic. 

The DoD's approach to missile defense technology development is rapidly changing as the pressure and the need for new, next generation missile defense solution mounts. CSIS Missile Defense Project's in-depth analysis of the FY21 Missile Defense Budget outlines the DoD's top missile defense funding priorities, strategic objectives and potential areas of oversight as well as their impact.
