USA creates its own defense system capable of destroying hypersonic missiles from China D Russia, its main rivals. The North American country is investing heavily in the development of this mechanism, which supposedly will protect it from the weapons of enemies.

Northrop Grumman D Raytheon Missiles and Defense two companies responsible for the production of this system. Missile Defense Agency (MDA for its English acronym) Ministry of Defense USA allocated more than US$60 million for this alliance to develop the interceptor during the planning phase, a key element of the project.

United States anti-hypersonic missile shield

Protection system USA It promises to combine various accessories such as ground-based radars, space sensors, and powerful and powerful weapons capable of tracking, intercepting, and destroying said nation’s enemies’ hypersonic projectiles in a scenario of this magnitude.

Raytheon Missiles and Defense led the design of this system with a powerful microwave engine using specific radioelectric energy. Thus, the shield has the ability to destroy the electronics of enemy missiles.

This technology is capable of moving at the speed of light, but its ammunition will be limited by the amount of energy available to power the system. According to what both organizations note, it is expected that several prototypes have already been developed for February 2023.

US prepares for possible hypersonic attack

Parallel Space Development Agency from USA (SDA for its English acronym) aims to manufacture and send a network of 28 satellites into low Earth orbit. Thus, this system can also warn and track hypersonic missiles. Russia D China.

According to the agency, it is expected that under his control USA 300 to 500 long-range communications satellites so they can provide military data and communications. On the other hand, the level of tracking will accurately identify, alert and monitor potential threats to the country.
