Abstract
The rapid pace of hypersonic weapons development sets the task for all countries of the world to revise their defensive strategies in the shortest possible time and invest in new technologies for intercepting hypersonic aerial vehicles (hereinafter HAV).
This article is the first part of a study that reviews the development of hypersonic weapons in the world and examines their advantages over other types of weapons. In order to solve the problem of hypersonic weapons interception, classical guidance methods for various types of targets are analyzed, and the impossibility of their application is substantiated. An analysis of the existing airborne weapons of aviation complexes and anti–aircraft guided missiles of air defense systems was also carried out, which showed that in terms of speed characteristics they lag significantly behind hypersonic aerial vehicles and cannot catch up with them. The main difficulty in solving the guidance problem has been determined, which consists in determining the coordinates of the interception point of a hypersonic weapon in conditions of significant speed exceeding the speed of an aircraft weapon. In the second part of the article a solution to this problem will be presented using the developed method of air navigation support for an advanced military-technical system for flight control and interception of individual HAV
