Hypersonic missiles, defined by speeds exceeding Mach 5, present unique challenges to modern air defence systems due to their velocity, trajectory, and the heat generated during flight. This article examines the technical challenges posed by hypersonic threats and explores how networked sensor systems, including radar, ESM, infrared, and acoustic detection, can be integrated to improve early warning and interception capabilities.
