The hypersonic imperative
Any future US battle against a great power rival, and particularly against the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the Indo-Pacific theater and the Russian Federation in the European theater, will be fought in a highly contested environment where US battlefield dominance will be challenged in each of the warfighting domains: land, air, sea, and space.
This challenge will come in the form of the anti-access/anti-denial warfighting-capability areas described below:
1. Large numbers of high-speed strike systems, such as ballistic missiles, supersonic missiles, and hypersonic missiles, along with many more conventional subsonic uncrewed aerial vehicles and cruise missiles. These threats will place at risk US, allied, and partner forward land bases and carrier-based sea bases.
2. Increasingly sophisticated air and missile defense systems designed to prohibit penetration of US strike aircraft and defeat traditional strike weapons.
3. Terrestrial and spaced-based antisatellite systems that will challenge the space-based elements of US and allied ISR capabilities and the space portions of US kill chains.
4. Fifth-generation fighters armed with air-to-air missiles with very long ranges that will challenge US air superiority.
5. Land, maritime, and air-launched antiship and antisubmarine capabilities that will challenge US maritime dominance.
6. Nonkinetic disrupters, including laser and high-powered microwave systems, cyberattack capabilities, and electromagnetic (EM) spectrum jamming and spoofing, which will challenge all elements of the US offensive and defensive capability suite.
Unser Land hier heißt in den Kriegsgedankenspielen der Amis nur noch "European Theater".
Demnächst in diesem Theater.
Oh man.
