Space and Missile Defense official in House testimony on interceptor, hypersonic detection systems

Tennessee Congressman Scott DesJarlais and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space and Missile Defense John Hill discuss his belief that hypersonic defense is feasible with existing terminal intercept capabilities against hypersonics in the SM 6 and Aegis, while maturing technologies for the Glide Phase Interceptor to intercept farther away, and asks about the Department's policy on addressing near peer hypersonic homeland threats, with the response being investing in directed capabilities like cruise missile defense led by the Air Force since glide vehicles are often cruise missiles, defending critical infrastructure by demonstrating the ability to respond as committed at a House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces hearing on missile defense and defeat program budgets for fiscal 2025.
