Defense developed for dealing with hypersonic missiles

Daily Mail:

$19.6million 'Glide Breaker' hypersonic defense glider is being developed which can shoot incoming missiles out of the sky and travel up to five times the speed of sound

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has teamed up with Aerojet Rocketdyne for a $19.6 million project to develop hypersonic rocket that will be capable of intercepting enemy missiles mid-air. The glider will be able to knock incoming missiles or vehicles out of the sky while moving at up to five times the speed of sound. The project had been in development since 2018, and the early stages of planning have gone well enough for DARPA to issue a new contract to develop 'enabling technologies' for the glider.
This could impact Russia's investment in hypersonic weapons.  It is further evidence that weapon development never really stops.
