Tracking fast-moving and maneuverable hypersonic weapons has been described as spotting a slightly brighter candle in a sea of candles. Difficult, but not impossible. With China and Russia advancing hypersonic missile technology, Pentagon leaders are turning to next-generation radars and satellites to detect and track these elusive weapons.

On Mar. 27, SpaceNews will host a panel discussion with experts from industry and the national security community to explore how space-based tracking technology is evolving, what advances are on the horizon, and how the Pentagon and Congress can ensure the U.S. military stays ahead of the threat.

Discussion will include:

  • Tracking difficulties
  • New radars and satellites
  • Timely warnings
  • Chinese and Russian threats
