I understood that one of the problems that hypersonic missiles suffered from was communications (because of interference from the superheated boundary layer around the missile.) This would mean no inflight adjustments for a manoeuvring target nor for evasion, the target position would have to be programmed before launch, and no recall/self destruct option.
