The JAV 105 Willbreaker is a hypersonic boost-glide missile launched from a submarine. It is designed to attack heavily defended time-sensitive and/or hard and deeply buried targets deep inland, with a high probability of penetrating air defense systems and successfully reaching and destroying its target. The missile uses a maneuverable boost-glide re-entry vehicle with a long cross-range capability, as well as a non-ballistic depressed trajectory to reduce detection range by hostile air defense and early-warning radar systems.
