Glide.

This is coolbert:

Conceptual designs. On paper. Drawing board only. Money has been allocated?

The American counter to the much ballyhooed Russian [and Chinese for that matter] hypersonic weapons systems.

"bal·ly·hoo - - 1. extravagant publicity or fuss."

Thanks to The Drive/Zero Hedge/Jeff for the tip and the article at Zero by Tyler Durden.

"DARPA Designs ‘Glide Breaker’ Interceptor To Hit Enemy Hypersonic Missiles"

"As Russia and China jump ahead of the United States with superior hypersonic weapons, one of the Pentagon’s top research and development arms is playing defense with a new, secret project to guard the nation against Mach 5 missile attacks."

Russian and Chinese unstoppable hypersonic missile and reentry vehicle systems not so impervious as thought? There is a counter? From this You tube video not a whole lot of details given. A Hard-hit weapon as deemed? The bullet hitting a bullet? Again, not a whole lot of details other than is drawing board stuff, conceptual.

The USA having tested some time ago [with not a lot of success?] the X-51 Waverider hypersonic missile. Do not think the American military so far behind the eight-ball [In a bad situation, in a losing position.] with regard to this sort of technology!
