Hypersonic Glide Vehicles are designed to glide at very low altitude while maintaining hypersonic speed. In this way, they evade detection by long range radars because earth’s curvature limits radar’s line of sight.
HGVs can perform high angle evasive maneuver in terminal stage to evade any interceptor missiles which drastically increase the probability of hit. Some modern ballistic missiles and cruise missiles also possess this ability.
