ASN4G (Air-Sol Nucléaire de 4ème Génération) is a planned French nuclear scramjet-powered hypersonic cruise missile,[1][2] studies for which have already begun.[3] The aim is to design a missile capable of either high supersonic (Mach 4–5) or hypersonic flight (Mach 7–8).[4][5]
The ASN4G could be carried by the Rafale fighter jet and the requirement is for a missile range much greater than 1,000 kilometres (600 mi).[6][7][8] ASN4G is being developed and will be manufactured by ArianeGroup.[9]
