NATO and the US will not have hypersonic missiles for a long time. Unless aerobalistic like Iskander Kindzal.
This particular project
shows this by the removal of the CIWS since they will be rendered useless by hypersonic anti-ship missiles
that NATzO may get in the near future.

Pretty stupid to eliminate CIWS for a ship leaving it vulnerable to any low flying subsonic missile...

I disagree. They are actually modifying SM-6 to be used as a hypersonic AShM I expect it will probably be fielded in 12-24 months. Perhaps this is what you mean by aeroballistic but they are already testing an air breathing missile and doing integration flights with B-52.
I am not too sure about that. There could be missiles that dive down and use ablative heat shields or some form of coolant for the terminal phase.
If sustaining speed is the problem then they could use a massive solid rocket booster for the terminal stage.
After all the Russians managed to get long range sea skimming supersonics working back in the 1970's.
