UDRI performs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of hypersonic flows in order to better guide the design process. CFD allows iteration and flexibility within a given design space, thus ...

President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to develop a missile defense plan to defend the United States from ballistic missiles, hypersonic ...

White Sands Missile Range Executive Director Vincent M. Liddiard met with senior leaders in the hypersonic test and evaluation community unifying knowledge and bringing together national and ...

What’s more, just like the Russian Tupolev PAK DA, the Chinese are designing the H-20 to deploy hypersonic cruise missiles. So, too, are the Americans designing their new B-21 Raiders to deploy ...

They come in three primary types: cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and hypersonic missiles, each designed for specific military purposes. Cruise missiles fly at low altitudes, making them ...

While they are faster than current cruise missiles, they are not faster than ballistic missiles. Hypersonic flight within the atmosphere generates high drag and heating, which limits the speeds ...

As the old saying goes, Speed Kills. Russia seeks to use the combination of Zircon missiles and Avangard hypersonic glide munitions to provide an unstoppable anti-ship capability. That’s the theory.

Trump on Monday signed an order that "mandated a process to develop an ‘American Iron Dome'", a next-generation US missile defence shield against ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missile and other ...

He imagined lasers in space shooting down Soviet intercontinental ballistic missiles, effectively creating a space shield to save America from nuclear Armageddon. More than 40 years and hundreds ...

Wonder Land: In 1986, Sen. Joe Biden mocked as ‘reckless’ Ronald Reagan's 'Strategic Defense Initiative,' a program to counter the ballistic missile threat. Israel ran with it, creating the ...

About 90 Patriot missiles from Israel are being sent to Ukraine in a transfer facilitated by the United States, according to a US defense official. The missiles had been in storage in Israel ...

The US military is transferring some 90 Patriot air defense missile interceptors from storage in Israel to be used in Ukraine against Russian strikes, according to a new report. The Patriot ...
