Hypersonic missiles are hard targets but "easy to destroy". If the air-defense weapons can track and aim bullets or missiles against hypersonic missiles they can destroy them. But the problem is that counter-weapons must hit to target. And the low-flying hypersonic weapon will not let a long time for reacting. 

Hypersonic weapons have the same thing as all other missiles and airplanes. That thing is that they are easy to destroy if the ammunition hits to target. There are developed weapon systems that can shoot over a million small-caliber ammunition against the target. The problem is that those CIWS systems (Close-in Weapon systems) are using lots of ammunition. 

And the ship needs an ammo ship for refilling its ammunition storage quite often. There are also missile-based systems that are shooting multiple missiles against incoming targets. But those systems are expensive, they are slow to reload. And the hypersonic warhead can be stealthy. They hit targets before their sound will reach them. And the radar echo from those targets is extremely weak. 

The things like DEW (Direct Energy Weapons) is that they don't need ammunition. The laser systems can also use as Lidar. So that kind of system can see incoming warheads sooner than regular radars. There are developed anti-stealth systems that detect the visual image of the attacking systems. Also, infrared imaging systems are making it possible that the detector sees incoming hypersonic missiles. 

Detection of hypersonic missiles is based on the use of satellites. Or some other high-flying platforms like GlobalHawk or some solar-power aircraft. One of those systems could be the blimp which orbits the naval unit near the edge of the atmosphere. 

Those high-flying platforms should detect the rocket booster or the air channel or turbulence that the hypersonic weapon leaves after it. Then that system sends the information about that launch to predicted target areas.  The problem is that the satellites and other platforms are good targets for the ASAT systems that can aim and destroy high-flying aircraft,  blimps, and satellites.

One type of hypersonic weapon is a hard target even for laser systems. Those hypersonic weapons are rifle-caliber hypersonic weapons. Those systems can shoot even millions of bullets against their targets. The speed of each bullet can be over Mach 6. 

China is testing a new hypersonic weapon. The hypersonic bullet travels with a speed that over 4000 meters per second. The hypersonic bullet is a new type of weapon that can destroy tanks and armored vehicles. The hypersonic bullet is the thing that makes personal armor like bullet-proof vests useless. The hypersonic bullets are the thing that is making the Scifi-superweapons true. 

Navies are testing railguns that are using hypersonic bullets. Those hypersonic bullets are meant to destroy incoming missiles. But they can also use rail guns to sweep the beach and make a road for landing troops. Those railguns can also use as "super-sniper" systems. But the military industries are developed handguns whose muzzle velocity is over 2000 m/s (Roughly Mach 6). 

These kinds of weapons are a new type of solution for the military. Lightweight, man-portable hypersonic rifles that are using intelligent aiming technology can be used in both, offensive and defensive roles. Theoretically, hypersonic handguns can use to replace multiple lightweight anti-aircraft systems.

China has increased its ECM power near its borders.

 China has increased its ECM power near its borders.

China increased its ECM (Electronic Counter-Measure) systems at artificial islands near its borders. The fixed countermeasure stations can deny the use of most modern US weapons. But the more interesting things are details that the Chinese are kept away from people. China has developed many new weapon systems. And there is almost certainly the DEW (Directed Energy Weapons). 

The problem is that those EM stations are on-ground stations. And that means. There could be even a megawatt-class microwave or radio system in those stations. The powerful radio waves can cause the synthetic EMP-pulse that destroys the computers. 

The countermeasure stations can cut the communication links that are integrated ground, sea, and airborne troops in one entirety. Those communication links are playing a vital role in communication between satellites and US systems. If the communication between troops is not working the main tactics of the US are useless. 

That thing can cause at least problems for troops. But another thing is that. The real power of those systems depends on the power and type of those countermeasure systems. The high-power microwave and radio systems can even kill people if they are targeting their radiation to a certain point. Even the low-power electric arcs are dangerous. But high-power militarized systems are even worse.

Crossing high-power radiowaves can form destructive electric arcs which temperature is high enough to melt steel. If the system uses turning transmitting antennas. The crew can aim the electric arc exactly where operators want. 

And those systems are destructive also for other things than some computers. Electric arcs are easy to create by using crossing radio waves. Can start the fire, detonate ammunition and burn fuel storage. 

The high-power electric arc simply detonates targets by causing heat expansions. Thre is planned to use crossing radio waves as weapons. And if those radio waves are hitting humans that causes the shockwave in the body. The internal burn injuries might not be seen outside and they can also be deadly. But the powerful electric arc simply detonates the victim. 

The gound-based counter-measure systems can be very powerful. The power of those radio-and microwave systems can be even megawatts. And that means they can melt metals. This type of powerful electromagnetic system can destroy targets. The microwaves are hitting living cells can also cause the situation that liquids in cells are starting to vaporize.

Active stealth suits, quantum stealth, and protective fields can be the next tools for the military.

The poor-man active stealth. 

In the beginning, I will write about one of the simplest ways to make the active stealth cloak that bases the flexible screen. The idea is that the image on the screen will turn a user of this chameleon system take by using a quadcopter. The quadcopter would take the image of a certain point of the ground. And then it will mark that point. 

Then the user of the cloak must just take that place. And the image will transmit to that screen. And that should make the person that can be a sniper less easy to detect. That thing is the poor-man version of the active stealth suits where are cameras all around it. 

And which purpose is to make the user of the system transparent. The use of a quadcopter can be useful in the cases that the person uses only the stealth canvas which is the flexible screen and moves quite a little. And then we can go to the quantum stealth systems and protective fields. 

Quantum stealth can base the idea. That the photons just stop in the air. The idea is taken from photon collisions. The same thing can make the protective field possible.

The photon collisions are creating new ideas to make the stealth technology. The thing that is required for making the object invisible. Is just to deny the radiation echo from its layer. 

So can the series of electrons that have high-speed spin create the electromagnetic radiation that has the same energy load as the incoming photons? If the object is surrounded by using the wave movement that would pull the photons in it that would be the big step for stealth. But also that thing is the big thing for the research of protective fields. 

There have been made tests or theoretical research for an electromagnetic and acoustic system. Which mission is to crush incoming ammunition before it hit the target.  The idea is that the counter weapon destroys ammunition before it can cause damages. Or the ammunition would turn to another direction. 

One of the most promising things to use against missiles is to use laser weapons and optical pointers against incoming missiles. The infrared camera detects the missile and then the 2-10 kilowatt carbon dioxide laser will detonate the incoming missile. 

That thing should make the object invisible because photons cannot reach the surface of the target. If the system can crush the incoming photons. That thing can make it possible to make even the large-size objects invisible to the observer. The problem is that the system must turn every photon separately. The photon collision can also use to turn the DEW:s (Directed Energy Weapons) away from the target. 

The idea is that incoming laser or microwave rays will stop before they cause damages by using counter-radiation. The counter radiation stops laser light in the air. And that thing could use to make the protective field against the craft. Another thing that is planned is to use the microwave field which would vaporize incoming ammunition or detonate the grenades too early.

The extreme high flying drone or manned aircraft would be a very good thing in the interceptor missions.

The extreme high flying drone or manned aircraft would be a very good thing in the interceptor missions.


High flying stratospheric aircraft can be a deadly surprise for any target in the world. It can be used in the operations as the laser platform, what can aim the laser-guided weapons to the target, or shoot them down by using the DEW:s (Directed Energy Weapons). The thing is that modern smart bombs are deadly even they are small sized, and if the aircraft like U-2 or "Global Hawk" drone would be equipped even with small size GPS-bomb, can they be deadly against almost any target in the world.

Even if the smart bomb size is less than 100 kilograms, they would cause a horrifying situation, if they are hitting the enemy headquarters. That means that the miniature anti-tank guided bombs can also use in the strategic missions, and they can be dropped to oil refineries, and ammo dumps as well in the enemy radio stations.

But those aircraft can also have cannons, what are equipped with anti-tank grenades. The use of those gunships could be that they can shoot the targets like other aircraft in the airborne, or nail them on the runways, and in some rumors, the CIA has been created the special cannon, what uses 25-30 mm cartridge, but the projectile would be like a normal bullet and the idea is that this high flying gunship could play that the snipers are slipped in the area.

I don't know how successful those weapons would be, and has anyone of them really installed on the U-2 or TR-1 aircraft, but the new Predator-III drones has the laser, what has been got the improvisation from those CIA gunships, what mission would be fly above other aircraft, and shoot them down from above by using cannon fire.  In fact, if one single 30 mm. HEAT (hollow grenade) would hit any aircraft, would that cause the destruction of the targeted aircraft. If the cannon would have an electric mechanism, that can shoot the single shots or series of grenades.

When we are thinking about the laser, that have boon installed in Predator III and probably in Global Hawks, that laser's primary mission would destroy the incoming missiles, and the targeting that system would happen by using the thermal image of the missile. The thing, what makes this process quite easy is that the rocket motor leaves the very bright thermal image. In some rumors, two carbon dioxide lasers would be in installing opposite ways in the body of the Global Hawks, and that allows them to target the 360 degrees area under the aircraft.

The nickname of those drones could be "Tarantella hawk". The laser ray would conduct to the target by using mirrors, which makes possible to use larger and more powerful lasers. Those high flying drones can fly above other aircraft and shoot them with those directed energy weapons, what can cut the wings off the aircraft. And under the F-22 and F-35 interceptors is planned to install a semiautomatic version of this system.

This laser can also installed in bombers and Lockheed-Martin HAA (High-Altitude Airships) and other Blimps, what can control the atmosphere around some city. That airship can hang in the sky, and shoot the cruise missiles down by using lasers or microwaves, what are other suitable weapons for DEW (Directed Energy Weapons). That laser can destroy the incoming missiles or other targets independently or it can be controlled by the pilot. The modern computer technology can allow using the image recognition systems in that weapon, which can target it in any hostile object, what that thing sees.
