The U.S. Department of Defense on Oct. 26 named a state agency of The Texas A&M University System to lead a national consortium for modernizing hypersonic flight capabilities.
The Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station will manage a five-year, $20 million-per-year Department of Defense initiative involving many of the nation’s top research universities. The University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics (UCAH) will work on everything from basic research to real-world capabilities in hypersonic flight systems.
Researchers from all of the institutions will work in close coordination. Together, they will accelerate innovation to address the nation’s hypersonic needs and nurture the next generation of researchers in aerospace engineering and related fields.
For more information, see the full press release on UCAH.
