Hypersonic missiles--specifically hypersonic glide vehicles and hypersonic cruise missiles--are a new class of threat because they are capable both of maneuvering and of flying faster than 5,000 kilometers per hour. These features enable such missiles to penetrate most missile defenses and to further compress the timelines for a response by a nation under attack. Hypersonic missiles are being developed by the United States, Russia, and China. Their proliferation beyond these three could result in other powers setting their strategic forces on hair-trigger states of readiness. And such proliferation could enable other powers to more credibly threaten attacks on major powers. The diffusion of hypersonic technology is under way in Europe, Japan, Australia, and India--with other nations beginning to explore such technology. Proliferation could cross multiple borders if hypersonic technology is offered on world markets. There is probably less than a decade available to substantially hinder the potential proliferation of hypersonic missiles and associated technologies. To this end, the report recommends that (1) the United States, Russia, and China should agree not to export complete hypersonic missile systems or their major components and (2) the broader international community should establish controls on a wider range of hypersonic missile hardware and technology.

The picture that emerges reveals an idiosyncratic problem, shaped by unique characteristics in every country where it is in evidence but also guided by strong general rules. By illuminating the key factors behind ballistic missile proliferation this study helps to explain why some of the most alarming regional rocketry projects have simply disappeared, while others make steady progress What danger does ballistic missile proliferation pose, and what can be done to control it? Although the problem has become a prominent concern of the post-cold war world, it remains notoriously difficult to understand and deal with. This book assesses the problem from the broader perspective of the political and technical transformations of the 20th century. It draws on the author's experience as a proliferation analyst to explain the most controversial aspects of the global spread of long-range rocketry

The security community generally believes that North Korea has a relatively sophisticated guided ballistic missile program. This report questions this view and seeks to better characterize the North Korean missile threat. The author compares the available data on the North Korean missile program against five hypotheses about the program's origins, sophistication, and scale, highlighting inconsistencies.
