North Korea Has a Hypersonic College. Hypersonic Missiles Coming Soon?
Pyongyang would certainly love to develop or buy their own hypersonic missiles, but that kind of technology is out of their reach for the time being.
It made the news earlier this week that the first hypersonic missile test conducted by the U.S. Air Force had failed, when held Tuesday off the coast of California.
There’s also interest in the hypersonic missile technology in other parts of the world including in North Korea.
According to Daily NK, the North Korean regime has established a new college, focused on hypersonic missile technology, at its military college, the Kim Jong Un National Defense University. The school debuted when North Korea’s academic year began at the beginning of April, and is known as College #11.

North Korea confirms development of hypersonic missiles
Reports coming out of the Eighth Party Congress confirm several stories Daily NK has covered over the past year

In his report to the Eighth Party Congress held from Jan. 5 to 7, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said North Korea is “conducting research into perfecting the guidance technology for multi-warhead rockets at the final stage,” according to the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA).
The “guidance technology for multi-warhead rockets” Kim mentioned seems to refer to multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) technology. Usually, a single ballistic missile carries a single warhead. When a missile carries multiple warheads, it is called a multiple reentry vehicle (MRV). MIRVs take this one step further. All of the warheads in an MRV follow the same trajectory, while a MIRV’s warheads can be directed at different targets.
