Advanced hypersonic weapon (AHW)

A long range missile capable of travelling five times the speed of sound within the earth's atmosphere. Developed by the U.S. Army, the AHW is able to strike targets anywhere in the world within an hour and can be manoeuvred to avoid flying over third party nations as it approaches its target. The missile uses a precision guidance system as it homes in on its target.
