Hypersonics and AI: The 21st Century Arms Race

Military technologies are no longer content with destruction. They think, decide and anticipate. The hypersonic age is not just a question of speed, but a complete overhaul of the rules of power. And in this new game, artificial intelligence has become the brains of the weapons. But today, force is no longer simply measured in tons of TNT or kilometers traveled per second. It is embodied in algorithms, quantum sensors and autonomous systems capable of striking without direct human command. The 21st century has ushered in a new era of warfare - silent, invisible, as fast as thought.This book was born of a simple question: how can we understand the dizzying evolution of modern weaponry? How can we explain the fact that a missile can travel at more than 6,000 km/h, while modifying its trajectory in real time thanks to artificial intelligence? What pays for this new arms race? And above all, where is it taking us?
