A Presentation About U.S. Hypersonic Weapons and Alternatives
Presentation
Presentation by Corinne Kramer, an analyst in CBO’s National Security Division, as part of the Global Security Technical Webinar Series at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In a report released in January 2023, the Congressional Budget Office analyzed the hypersonic weapons being developed by the U.S. military and compared them with less expensive existing or potential weapons that might fill similar roles, such as ballistic missiles or cruise missiles. This presentation summarizes the findings of that report.
