==Context==
The maneuverability and high speed of the HGV raises new challenges for conventional [[missile defense]] systems. With the disadvantage again swinging toward defensive systems, many in the defense industry are worried [[hypersonic]] weapons will rekindle an [[arms race]] such as the one during the [[cold war]] era.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/19/magazine/hypersonic-missiles.html |title=Hypersonic Missiles Are Unstoppable.
