China is apparently working on a second generation ASBM using hypersonic glide vehicle technology tested on the WU-14.
2.
The TALD was an expendable glide vehicle with a square fuselage, flip-out wings, and three tail control surfaces.
3.
The Pentagon and DARPA are researching technologies like directed-energy weapon and railguns to counter maturing threats posed by missile and hypersonic glide vehicles.
4.
However NASA ultimately chose a gliding orbiter, based partially on experience from previous rocket-then-glide vehicles such as the X-15 and payload.
5.
Under the other part of the ASSET flight testing, two nonrecoverable delta wing glide vehicles were launched from Pad 17B on 27 October and 8 December 1964.
6.
On 9 January 2014, a Chinese hypersonic glide vehicle ( HGV ) referred to as the WU-14 was allegedly spotted flying at high speeds over the country.
7.
Similar efforts by Russia led to the Kholod and Igla hypersonic test projects, and more recently the Yu-71 hypersonic glide vehicle which can be carried by RS-28 Sarmat.
8.
The later DF-26, a development of the DP-21, may be armed with the WU-14, a hypersonic glide vehicle that has been successfully test six times by the Chinese.
9.
The DF-26 is also able to carry anti-ship warheads, possibly hypersonic glide vehicles like the WU-14, to attack medium and large naval vessels out to ranges of 3500 km to 5000 km.
10.
According to DARPA, the "'ArcLight "'program was to develop a high-tech missile based on the booster stack of the current RIM-161 Standard Missile 3 and equipped with a Hypersonic glide vehicle capable of carrying a 100-200 lb ( 45-90 kg ) warhead.
