Increasing Global Conflicts to Drive Market Growth
From the beginning of time, speed has been an important factor in combat, especially at the outset of a ware. Speed will dramatically change the arithmetic of warfare & deterrence with the imminent deployment of hypersonic and supersonic missiles that move at over Mach 5 and higher. U.S., Russia and China are all testing hypersonic weapons of different categories so  as to augment strategic nuclear deterrence & reinforce front-line combat forces. Existing ICBM re-entry vehicles travel at such speeds, but the hypersonic glide vehicles in development are far nimbler, making tracking and intercepting them very difficult. Such dual-use vehicles, which may deliver nuclear or conventional bombs, are also being fitted to missiles destined for regional deployment, such as in the Baltic area or the South China Sea.

Growth in Defense Spending is Attracting R&D Investments
Different variants of these types, as well as supporting technologies, are being developed by major countries in the worldwide supersonic and hypersonic missile industry. The US Air Force is financing a second hypersonic project known as the Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon in addition to its hypersonic cruise missile programme. The Alternative Re-Entry System, a manoeuvrable hypersonic delivery vehicle that may be launched by one of many proposed missile booster systems, is being developed by the US Army. The United States Navy is developing a booster rocket capable of transporting hypersonic vehicles from surface ships. The Defense Department proposed $2.6 billion for these and related programmes in its fiscal year 2020 budget proposal. Although all three major nations have looked into hypersonic applications, their strategic calculations seem to vary, with the US concentrating on weapons for non-nuclear regional wars and Russia prioritising the deployment of hypersonic weapons for both conventional and nuclear applications. Whatever the case may be, hypersonic weaponry's increasing pursuit is mainly due to its immense manoeuvrability and perceived invulnerability to current defensive systems, as well as its substantial manoeuvrability and perceived invulnerability to existing defensive systems.
