BLUF

We are headed into an advanced precision strike regime with improved accuracies for weapons of longer ranges.

Summary

  1. Hypersonic weapons will reduce the time available to defenders for a timely response.
  2. Some hypersonics will be equipped with capabilities purposely built to evade defences.
  3. Qualitative leaps in performance will come due to advances in AI, quantum computing, and human-machine interfaces.
