Hypersonic bomb: One-hour delivery?


That is the title of the article which you can find at cnet.com. It mentioned that the U.S. Army has successfully tested a hypersonic aircraft that can travel five times the speed of sound and reach anywhere on Earth in less than an hour.

Described by the Pentagon as a 'glide vehicle, designed to fly within the earth's atmosphere at hypersonic speed and long range.

The weapon is part of Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS), a program that would give the U.S. the power to strike anywhere in the world with conventional weapons.
