At that point, the reentry vehicles may be moving at 20 times the speed of sound, and interaction with the atmosphere creates extreme heating.
As if all this were not a sufficient challenge, the hypersonic weapons the joint force is pursuing today will be armed with conventional warheads, which means that to be effective they must hit within tens of meters of their intended targets after traveling many hundreds of miles and maneuvering to avoid interception.
Because they have been modeling and testing hypersonic effects for many years—in fact, back to before Lockheed and Martin combined in a single company—program managers are confident they understand all the factors they must master. The new facility is the latest in a series of digital factories the company has been constructing that apply advanced technology to the task of fabricating and integrating next-generation weapons .
The Navy says that it wants to produce two dozen of its prompt strike missiles annually to meet the needs of both the sea services and the Army. But Gilday expressed optimism about the technology itself, stating that the joint hypersonics effort his service is leading is on track and progressing smoothly.
