From the article: Reusable super-high-speed aircraft and space launch systems are some of the capabilities being eyed for future Pentagon research into hypersonic technology, according to Gillian Bussey, director of the Defense Department Joint Hypersonics Transition Office.
The future of reusable hypersonic vehicles was just one topic in a wide-ranging overview of the Pentagon’s investment in hypersonic technologies, delivered by Bussey Nov. 15 during a speech at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics ASCEND space conference. The speech provided perhaps the most comprehensive rundown to date of the various hypersonic programs underway at DoD.
“For the long term, we’re interested in reusable aircraft, as well as eventually systems that allow us to get access to space with hypersonics,” Bussey said.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - It is certainly good that our military experts are looking at this technology now, but they are a day late and a dollar short, as purportedly, CHINA already has them in testing (or so they say). Here is a quote from another source, Financial Times:
"China tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August that circled the globe before speeding towards its target, demonstrating an advanced space capability that caught US intelligence by surprise."
We best get moving on this technology, not just talk about it!
