    It seems the only real definition of “hypersonic” outside of speed, is that the missile is capable of performing evasive maneuvers during the terminal phase while at hypersonic velocity. Otherwise yea, every ballistic missile is hypersonic. I have to doubt that this system actually qualifies, you never know though, technology proliferates I guess.
