Seven Programs Shaping Missile Defense

Next-generation missiles and hypersonic weapons are reshaping the military balance between offense and defense. The United States is advancing systems such as the Army's Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (Dark Eagle), the Navy's Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS),while continuing to develop the Air Force's Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM).

As these weapons become faster, more maneuverable, and harder to detect and intercept, missile defense faces a growing technological challenge.

This infographic examines seven programs shaping the emerging missile-defense architecture, highlighting their latest funding, testing milestones, deployment timelines, and technological developments as of September 2026.
