This Defense Intelligence Reference Document from the Defense Intelligence Agency, dated 20 November 2010, was one of a series of advanced technology reports produced in FY 2010 under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program. It reviews the theory of subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic flow. It then compares electromagnetic, optical, and acoustic and seismic methods for detecting and tracking hypersonic objects, and it makes four recommendations for progress over the next 30 years.
