Navy Vice Admiral John Anthony Hill, Director of the US Missile Defense Agency, said the Standard Missile 6 (SM-6) missile could intercept a hypersonic missile. American journalist Joseph Trevithick quoted his opinion in the article (SM-6 Missiles Are America's Only Defense Against Hypersonic Weapons Missile Defense Chief Says), published by the The Drive on February 2 under the War Zone rubric. Recurrence of sluggish declarations This is not the first time, when John Hill, a specialist, who, by the way, does not hold a profile diploma in the field of rocket and aircraft engineering, made such a statement. The US officer may have our sympathies at this point. The Agency that he currently chairs has been trying to implement the GPI (Glide Phase Interceptor) program to improve the US missile defense system for two years already, although to no avail. In the spring of 2019, the vice admiral announced that the Regional Glide Phase Weapon System could be integrated with the existing universal launcher Mk 41, which could be mounted both on warships and ground-based facilities. However, the RGPWS program was later curtailed and replaced with a new one — GPI, which is now in its infancy.
