What defenses does a carrier group have against a hypersonic missile?
VSLPMI-13 hypersonic interceptor munitions. They are still classified right now. Some ships have them right now.

>>62890304Is that fake lava?
>>62890560It's takes place in China, Anon.They're clearly not gonna spend the money on real lava.
>>62890304>you're going to be executed>they're going to send you down the rainbow slippy slide into a tank of lavaWhat do you scream out in the 6 or so seconds it takes for you to go down the slide?
>>62890596
>>62890560no
>>62890304speed
>>62890560yes
>>62890304As it turns out you don't need defenses against a missile that can't hit a moving target being fired by a pilot who will either defect or jettison the ordnance preferentially to dying
>>62890304Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the plasma surrounding the missile as it goes hypersonic completely fuck with its internal navigation stuff? Like as long as it goes that fast, it cannot receive (or send) information. So basically the ship would have to be stationary.
>>62890796Pretty much
>>62890796what if the missile used a fiber-optic link
>>62891445i'd have to be a pretty long phone cable
>>62890304Any of the standard missiles can shoot them down.
>>62890304No/thread
>>62890304Roll dodge out of the way at the last second and avoid damage during the invincibility frames.>>62890636Release the *unintelligible* sphere!
semi related but how does a carrier defend itself if the weather is too rough and the planes cant take off?
Kek, I knew /pol/ was full of shit when they said there was nothing the US could do.
>>62892774How does an incoming missile maintain trajectory when the weather is bad enough that a carrier can't defend itself?
>>62892836Every post on /pol/ exists to demoralize you; no matter who you are or what you believe in.You gotta stop going there, for you own sake.
>>62893020This Anon is wise; he speaks the Truth for those who would hear it.
>>62893020it's pretty fun to shitpost on when you don't believe in anything tho
Carriers move pretty fast. It won't be in the same spot as it was when the missile was launched, and hypersonics have poor maneuverability and guidance. They're also fucking enormous, so a hit could mission kill it, but sending it to the bottom of the ocean is a huge task.
>>62892774Keeping track of the weather is mandatory for all branches of the military, anon.
>>62890796Internal navigation? No, INS works the same regardless of plasma. INS is bad because it's just not very accurate, though.You can send and receive information so long as your transmitter and incoming transmissions are powerful enough. All hypersonic weapons (real hypersonic, not DF-21D or missiles shot at Ukraine) that are known or reasonably projected are only able to do this in the upper atmosphere where the plasma layer will be thin.
>>62891526Only problem is finding it in time.
>>62890796It'll probably slow down at certain points to course correct then speed up at terminal phase
>>62890304What defense does anything have against a fictional weapon? Unless you're talking about Chinese carriers. They're fucked.
>>62890796Plasma can be seen past. It's dense multispectral, but the reality is you can still use certain radar bands to get past it.It's not as sensitive as normal munitions but it exists enough to spot something big.
>>62890304Moving in excess of thirty knots per hour and being surrounded by a fleet of ships designed specifically to intercept any and all threats to the carrier. Hitting a moving target with a ballistic weapon is already hard enough without it shooting back. And it also being one of the fastest things on the sea.

>>62890304>What defenses does a carrier group have against a hypersonic missile?The real question is: Can a hypersonic missile even hit anything in the carrier group to begin with? Because the current answer is: Unlikely.
>>62890747how would you even be able to get that close without dying from the heat and fumes?
>>62896891You do it by filming the beach, and then getting good with editing.
>>62890304>chinese death penalty
>>62890596ISILDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURYeah, I know it's backwards since the whole point was he didn't cast it into the fire, but I think it'd still make people laugh.
>>62893020Yeah.... Seems obvious now, it's a shame because that place was amazing in 2016.
