ASN4G

ASN4G (Air-Sol Nucléaire de 4ème Génération) is a planned French nuclear scramjet-powered hypersonic cruise missile, studies for which have already begun. The aim is to design a missile capable of either high supersonic (Mach 4–5) or hypersonic flight (Mach 7–8).

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). ASN4G is being developed and will be manufactured by ArianeGroup.
