Cruise missiles may cruise at subsonic, supersonic, or hypersonic velocity. Because lift-to-drag ratios decrease with increasing speed above the maximum endurance speed, a range penalty is paid for supersonic or hypersonic flight. However, since the time of flight is inversely proportional to speed, the intercept problem becomes more difficult as the speed of the target missile is increased. Of course, a cruise missile’s flight path may be broken into PRESENT AND PROJECTED THEATER MISSILE THREATS 27 segments with different altitude-speed characteristics to maximize the probability of mission success.

The committee recognizes that in the area of R&D to support new BMD capabilities, the Navy cannot proceed in a completely autonomous manner. R&D programs must be coordinated with and supported by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO). Since the Gulf War, BMDO programs have emphasized the acquisition of theater missile defense (TMD) systems and National missile defense rather than R&D. BMDO advanced technology programs have decreased in numbers and funding. As a result, the systems that are now being acquired do not have credible plans or resources for future block upgrades to correct deficiencies or meet advanced threats.
