Hypersonic Weapons are Next Level. The Design Process for them Should be Too
Description
Offensive hypersonic weapons move at least five times the speed of sound and have unpredictable flight paths. DOD has begun multiple efforts to develop offensive hypersonic weapons that can be launched on the ground, in the air, and at sea. High costs and failed tests are a concern for some of these efforts.
GAO looked into six hypersonic efforts being developed by the Army, Air Force, and Navy. After gathering and reviewing significant information the GAO is making 10 recommendations to DOD to improve these efforts.
