This was reported by Tass, citing the movement's military spokesperson, Yahya Sarea. “The missile troops of the Yemeni armed forces conducted a military operation and attacked Ben Gurion airport in the occupied neighborhood of Jaffa with the use of a Palestinian-2 hypersonic…

What sensors are needed to fly hypersonic missiles?

Maneuverability and guidance systems, not just raw speed, are key differentiators for hypersonic missiles. That requires aerodynamic pressure sensors, optical sensors, inertial sensors, space-based tracking, infrared sensors, and more. All are combined into a single guidance system using sensor fusion. This article reviews the sensor types for hypersonic guidance, navigation, and target acquisition systems. Hypersonic guidance systems and associ…
