Hypervelocity terminal ballistics
The study of projectile impacts with velocities greater than several kilometres per second is an area of active research. Such impacts are not yet used in military situations, but can arise from meteorite impact. The impact of extremely small, extremely fast particles is of interest in designing spacecraft to withstand erosion due to micrometeoroids.

Accelerating projectiles up to such speeds is currently difficult; light gas guns are currently the most common techniques for producing such speeds, although linear motors, railguns and ram accelerators are also possibilities undergoing active research
