America took an important step in the development of hypersonic technology with the successful launch of the Stratolaunch TA-1 hypersonic rocket under the body of the giant Roc aircraft. This action has been taken in response to concerns about the progress of Russia and China in this area. Hypersonic weapons with high speed and maneuverability neutralize traditional defense systems and give America's competitors a strategic advantage. Aimed at high-speed testing and cost reduction, the TA-1 paves the way for the development of reusable missiles and advances the US military in the arms race.
