The Defense Department Is Researching Hypersonic Capability. Heres What Experts Had To Say

The Department of Defense is increasing its research in hypersonic offensive and defensive capability, an area the United States has been a “world leader” in for decades, according to a spokeswoman.

Dr. Thomas Bussing, vice president of Raytheon Missile Systems, explained how the companys Hypersonic Air-Breathing Weapons Concept (HAWC) program works. (RELATED: Russian Hypersonic Missiles Could Penetrate US Defenses)

“We are flying a HAWC system … ground tests have already happened. The whole point is to simulate what you would experience in flight, so you can create the correct thermal environment. You can model and measure the heat in the vehicle and you can measure the material properties,” he said, according to RealClear Defense.

Kingston Reif, director of Disarmament & Threat Reduction Policy at the Arms Control Association, told TheDCNF about hypersonic weapons potential “risks to stability.”
