Introduction
In recent years, hypersonic weapons have emerged as a game-changing technology in modern warfare. Defined as systems capable of traveling at speeds of Mach 5 or greater, these weapons promise unprecedented speed and maneuverability, presenting both opportunities and challenges for global security. As outlined in the recent Congressional Research Service report (January 2, 2025), the United States, Russia, and China are at the forefront of developing and deploying these advanced systems.
The U.S. Approach
The United States has prioritized the development of hypersonic technologies under its Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS) program. Unlike Russia and China, U.S. hypersonic weapons are designed for precision, relying on advanced guidance systems rather than nuclear payloads. This distinction makes U.S. systems more challenging and costly to develop, as they require higher levels of accuracy.
Notable U.S. programs include:
- Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) – A Navy-led initiative to integrate hypersonic glide vehicles with advanced boosters.
- Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) – Known as “Dark Eagle,” this Army project aims to field a prototype by FY2027.
- Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) – An Air Force program focused on air-launched, scramjet-powered hypersonic systems.
The Department of Defense (DoD) allocated $6.9 billion to hypersonic research in FY2025, underscoring the strategic importance of these systems.
The Global Landscape
Russia
Russia has already deployed hypersonic systems like the Avangard glide vehicle, reportedly capable of delivering nuclear warheads at incredible speeds. These systems are part of Moscow’s strategy to counter U.S. missile defenses and maintain strategic parity.
China
China has also advanced significantly in hypersonic technologies, conducting multiple successful tests. Its systems, such as the DF-ZF glide vehicle, aim to enhance its anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) capabilities, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region.
Challenges and Concerns
While hypersonic weapons offer strategic advantages, they also pose significant risks to global stability:
- Detection and Defense: Current radar and satellite systems struggle to detect and track hypersonic threats due to their speed and unpredictable trajectories.
- Strategic Stability: The deployment of hypersonic systems could disrupt existing arms control agreements and exacerbate an arms race among nuclear powers.
- Cost and Feasibility: Developing, testing, and deploying hypersonic systems require substantial investment in infrastructure and technology.
Questions for Policymakers
As Congress reviews the Pentagon’s hypersonic initiatives, key questions arise:
- Are hypersonic weapons the most effective means for achieving strategic objectives?
- How will their deployment impact arms control and global stability?
- What investments are needed to develop adequate defense mechanisms?
Conclusion
Hypersonic weapons represent a transformative shift in military capabilities but come with complex implications for global security. As the United States, Russia, and China continue their efforts, the international community must grapple with the challenges of regulation, defense, and strategic stability.
