ble to shoot hypervelocity projectiles at a blistering Mach 7 and strike targets two hundred miles away - still going at Mach 5

I have a real issue with this claim. I call B.S. No way unless this thing is aimed to escape the atmosphere is it going to coast 200 miles and still be going Mach 5..............

See power point presentation below; it is planned to go exo-atmospheric during mid-course trajectory.

It will be suborbital and spend most of its flight path outside the atmosphere
