I think a lot of “hypersonic” talk is a distraction and mongering of fear. The detection and acquisition of Mach 5+ targets isn’t an issue, and objects traveling at those speeds are vulnerable to high energy lasers and clouds of anything over a mass of ~10-100+_ grains you merely blow/disperse in its path.

Plus fear mongering propaganda by the Military Industry Complex to get more tax payer money from Uncle Sugar IMO.
