As awesome as "unstoppable hypersonic missile" sounds, the AEGIS defense system was designed to intercept hypersonic and boost-glide missiles.

The USN has an AEGIS cruiser in the Baltic and another in the north-eastern Mediterranean - the moment the Russians let one loose, it will be tracked with potential intercept, depending on where it's headed.

By the way, when the New Jersey was shelling Syrian positions east of Beirut, the Ticonderoda was tracking the Jersey's 16" rounds in flight.
 
But that's still a long way short of the claimed speed of the Kh-47M2 which is Mach 12.
The AEGIS system was capable of tracking naval shells back in 1984, is has been vastly upgraded since then.

There were recent articles covering hypersonic weapons (Chinese, Russian and others) and both Lockheed-Martin and Raytheon stated that several systems, AEGIS included, were able to provide intercept and termination of such weapons.
