MDAA Alert:
China is First
October 3, 2019
DF-17 hypersonic missiles during China's military parade in Beijing to commemorate
the 70th anniversary of Communist Party rule on October 1, 2019.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Members and Friends,
On Monday, in celebration of 70 years of communist rule, China paraded the first
deployable Hypersonic Weapon System that is immune from any defensive system known
to mankind [[link removed]].
China leads the world in developing, proving and deploying these indefensible offensive
missile systems that can be fitted with nuclear warheads and can strike with invulnerability
from this specific system - Taiwan and U.S. bases in South Korea, Japan and Guam
as well as U.S. Aircraft Carrier Battle Groups operating within the first and second
island chains.
The Chinese Dong Feng-17 (DF-17) was shown on multiple transporter erector launcher
(TEL) vehicles and can also be delivered by aircraft, ship, and underwater by submarine,
not only to deter and strike within the Asia Pacific Region but can provide a strategic
capability to launch and strike with mobile platforms from regional distances into
the United States. The Chinese Hypersonic DF-17 is a first of its kind and has preempted
the strategic competition from the United States and Russia, who are pursuing vigorously
a hypersonic system of their own and a defensive system to defeat it. Major international
powers in the world will also begin to pursue this capability. The United States
is developing its own common hypersonic vehicle that will be capable of launch
from U.S. Navy submarines, U.S. Army land-based TELs that could be deployed on the
U.S. territory in Guam & Alaska, and launched off U.S. Air Force air platforms deployed
around the world.
China has modernized and enhanced its nuclear strategic capability to validate a
world superpower status and to lead its way unencumbered to its "one belt one road
policy" of Chinese dominance [[link removed]].
The Chinese DF-17 defies ballistic trajectories by skipping to increase its speed
and maneuvering at will during the majority of its flight time, operating in lower
space and the upper atmosphere, and making it unpredictable in flight with speeds
over 20 times the speed of sound. The only predictability is its boost phase with
its heat signatures picked up by U.S. satellites from where, when and what platforms
it's launched from. The United States nor any country in the world has space-based
discriminating sensors that can locate and track a hypersonic glide vehicle from
very long distances to establish battle space to engage this target. This is by
far the most critical and vital element of creating an anti-hypersonic defensive
system. A deployed constellation of hundreds of discrimination sensors in Low Earth
Orbit with global persistence will be able to track the flight area and define the
hypersonic glide vehicle is the primary objective. Once space-based discriminating
sensors are established to provide the battle space during its glide phase, it then
goes to developing effectors/interceptors to break the highly sensitive thermal
shield and/or disrupt its speed envelope in this glide phase. The upcoming evolution
of systems being developed to include the command & control to defeat and negate
the Chinese hypersonic glide vehicle system will also greatly enhance strategic/regional
ballistic missile defense and the defense of U.S. space satellites.
Ramifications for the United States to build a system to defeat and negate the Chinese
proliferation of its DF-17, along with its modernization of this system is the creation
of the Space Force, the Space Combatant Command, and the Space Development Agency.
These U.S. space entities, along with the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), will be
and are tasked with pursuing, developing, testing, deploying, and operating an anti-hypersonic
defensive system.

We are not first in this strategic capability and we must close the gap and exceed
the gap fast to keep strategic stability.

MDAA is a non-profit, non-partisan tax-exempt 501(c) (4) organization. Our mission
is to make the world safer by advocating for the development and deployment of missile
defense systems to defend the United States and its allies against missile threats.
We are a membership-funded organization that does not advocate on behalf of any
specific system, technology, architecture or entity. Founded in 2002, MDAA is the
only organization in existence whose primary mission is to recruit, organize, and
mobilize proponents to advocate for the critical need of missile defense. Visit
