The commander proposes to focus on the spacecraft to prevent startup and to eliminate ballistic missiles and hypersonic aircraft. “This sensor could track a missile in the middle part of ballistic trajectory (when you are outside the atmosphere, the warhead was detached from the carrier — approx. “Of the tape.ru”), but also to observe and find from space and other emerging threats, such as hypersound,” said the General.
After the detection from space hypersonic vehicle of the enemy its elimination is proposed to carry out on a tip sensor space by traditional means of land, air or sea-based.
Hayden believes that currently available to the United States land, air and sea weapons is not enough to detect the hypersonic aircraft. In particular, today the Pentagon has the infrastructure, intended to deal exclusively with ballistic missiles.
