Abstract
Hypersonic weapons are increasingly becoming a threat. The development and deployment of these weapons has created an arms race threatening global security. Currently, the U.S., China, and Russia are leading in the development of hypersonic weapons, but there are more states developing their own hypersonic weapons programs. The purpose of this study was to determine if an arms control regime can hinder the proliferation of hypersonic weapons. Ultimately, the goal of a regime is to facilitate cooperation in a given-issue area. It was concluded that an arms control regime can in fact be applicable towards hypersonic weapons.
