Hypersonic Boost-Glide Body Demonstrator Vehicle, HGV-202F

Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV), HGV-202F is set atop a booster rocket (or an ICBM). Like a payload on a conventional rocket, the booster takes it to the required altitude in the range of 60 to 100+ Km and provides the initial orientation & speed depending on the target. The HGV then Jettisons the expended booster and renters the atmosphere. And performs a high-degree Pull-up maneuver to enter the glide phase and finally the terminal trajectory. HGV-202F is an unpowered gliding body and uses aerodynamic forces to glide towards the target with a speed of Mach 10+ (or 5km/sec) five times the existing cruise missiles and much more maneuverable than existing ballistic re-entry vehicles (RVs).
