Emerging technology snapshot : countermeasures against hypersonic weapons.: D69-71/2023E-PDF
"Hypersonic weapons (including cruise missiles, glide and boost-glide vehicles) travel at Mach 5 or higher, retain a degree of in-flight maneuverability and follow lower-altitude, difficult-to-track trajectories, all of which make intercepting these weapons much harder than with ballistic missiles. Research on countermeasures to hypersonic weapons include high-power lasers and microwave weapons, railguns and hypersonic interceptors, along with ‘soft-kill’ weapons like cyberattacks to confuse, overload or disable critical subsystems, such as receivers for satellite navigation signals or controllers for flight surfaces"--page [1].
