Advanced Hypersonic Weapon (AHW)

The Advanced Hypersonic Weapon (AHW) is a type of missile designed to travel at extremely high speeds, usually above Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound). This allows it to reach distant targets quickly and with a high degree of precision, often evading current missile defenses. The AHW combines advanced aerodynamics, materials, and guidance technology to maintain stability and accuracy during rapid flight. Its development aims to enhance military capabilities by providing rapid response options, strategic deterrence, and the ability to penetrate sophisticated enemy defenses.
