Hypersonic Systems

Learn about the Middle East’s growing interest in hypersonic cruise missiles, glide vehicles, and other weapon classes that are capable of speeds in excess of Mach 5 coupled with maneuverability. Hypersonic air defenses are also increasingly important to counterbalance emerging threats. KSA, UAE, Qatar, and other regional states are closely monitoring international hypersonic programs with the hope that one day they could also operate these novel strike systems.
