Abstract:This paper investigates the global development trends of hypersonic weapons in 2025, with a focus on technological exploration, test validation, and operational application of hypersonic weapons by the United States, Russia, and other major nations. Key technological advances are summarized in multi-level test validation and digital twin, overall design, propulsion systems, thermal protection materials and thermal management, as well as high-precision guidance, navigation, and control (GNC). Furthermore, the operational characteristics and development trends of hypersonic weapons are discussed to provide references for future hypersonic defense system construction and technical research.
