In the modern day, drones have grown widespread. It is in use in every nation. However, due to the complexity of the technology, only a small number of nations possess hypersonic missiles. But in the future, it will be more typical. china has asserted that it is capable of producing hypersonic drones and is working to network these drones to create a smart swarm. china reportedly began this effort in response to the US challenge.

The search for weaponry that can launch multiple simultaneous attacks by linking several unmanned combat air vehicles (drones) in a network has begun while doing new research on China's hypersonic preparatory drones.  Swarm is the name of this technique.  Research conducted by the beijing Institute of technology mentions this smart swarm. Similar smart swarms are being developed by Chinese scientists.

By linking hypersonic unmanned aerial vehicles (UCAVs), which move five times faster than sound through the atmosphere, to a network, china is working to create a smart swarm.  A single missile is not as dangerous as this intelligent swarm. Despite being slower than a ballistic missile, this hypersonic weapon will be challenging to intercept using radar or any other method because of its low-altitude flight. Furthermore, these intelligent swarms can fire nuclear weapons.

The US Also working on a similar project

In 2017, the united states also launched a comparable program called MSET, or Missile Multiple Simultaneous Engagement Technology. This allows many missiles to be employed in tandem to attack various targets. Experts claim that MSET is a small-scale tactical rather than a strategic system equipped with a hypersonic missile. A comparable swarm, but with hypersonic missiles, is being planned by Chinese scientists.

Traditional warfare has changed as a result of drones.
 
In a technical sense, india is also getting ready for conflict in the future.  Swarming technology has also been adopted by the indian Army. Along the same lines, HAL is also creating a more advanced, long-range system. This method is known as the Combat air Team method, or CATS.  Three distinct drones can be used to control this system from a single fighter. CATS Warrior is the first drone system; CATS Hunter is the second; and CATS Alpha is the third. However, india may also be concerned by China's efforts to improve its technology and solidify its position through the deployment of hypersonic drones.
