| Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI) Project |
The Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI) Project is a collaborative effort between Japan and the U.S. aimed at developing a hypersonic missile-intercepting system. |
| A hypersonic weapon travels at speeds between 5 and 25 times the speed of sound. Below these speeds, weapons are considered subsonic or supersonic. Above these speeds, the atmosphere molecules disassociate into a plasma, complicating control and communication. |
| Hypersonic missiles enter the glide phase after separating from boosters at the peak of their trajectory. During this phase, they use gravity to accelerate towards Earth and perform a pitch manoeuvre to enter a flatter trajectory towards their target. |
