re: Hypersonic missiles - you buying the US doesn’t have them or a defense for them?

support a lot of scientific minds in the DoD and the physicists at Edward's, Vandenberg, China Lake, White Sands, Yuma, Redstone and the Atlantic Test Range. There is significant info that is classified and can't be addressed or even acknowledged.

However, there are multiple issues involved with tracking and interceptions of hypersonic missiles that are apparently problematic. A Hypersonic missile can travel between 1100-1200 miles in one minute. Not only that, it can also be maneuverable (hence: unpredictable). It could be programmed to fly into areas where land-based tracking systems can't see it. Even if it did, it would be so fast that a tracker can't possibly follow it fast enough before the missile is out of range.

The only way to really track and take down one is from space. Which, supposedly (wink*wink), is illegal, as space weapons are forbidden by treaty. So how can they be tracked and stay within the confines of our space weapons treaty?

In short, an effective missile would employ stealth technologies and make it difficult, if not almost impossible to track and intercept, but the achilles heel (there is one) of these is a physics phenomenon that DoD research (at Redstone Arsenal) has discovered and that is what would be exploited by sensors on satellites to track, triangulate and employ both air and ground-based systems to intercept these missiles. I can't tell you what it is, but I know that it is an amazing discovery that creates a signature so strong that it's a weakness we are able to exploit not only in tracking, but in how to avoid it in our own missiles.

100% this

That said, we are still very vulnerable at this stage. Lots of work left to do.

yes still lots of work, but i am about 99% sure we are very very far along on this. much further along that we are ackowledging and it should stay that away.
