Following the FY2020 National Defense Authorization Act Section 253 and FY2021 the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering has coordinated the Energetics Plan. A public private partnership has been established to promote innovation and collaboration between faculty, industry, and government stakeholders to further invention and expansion in energetic materials and […]
Abstract Through the Autonomy for Hypersonics (A4H) Mission Campaign, Sandia National Laboratories is investing internal research funds to explore autonomous systems technologies to increase the warfighting utility of hypersonic weapon systems. A4H is a 6.5 year-long strategic initiative that will enable rapid mission planning for response to time-sensitive threats and develop technologies for highly adaptive vehicles that intelligently sense their environment, determine a course […]
High OpTempo for Hypersonics is a Department of Defense funded flight test effort led by Navy Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) and conducted by Sandia National Laboratories to enable low-cost, rapidly-recurring flight tests for the exposure of hypersonic vehicle components and materials to relative hypersonic flight environments. The program’s flight tests center around the use...

Join us for a meet and greet event hosted at the AIAA SciTech conference and learn more about the University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics and how to become a student participant. The event will be held during the AIAA SciTech conference at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, in Room Seaport F. RSVP for Hypersonic […]
This unique Hypersonics Test and Evaluation short course is an offering that is meant to introduce students to high speed and hypersonic test. The course will introduce the concept of hypersonic flight and describe the critical physics that is encountered at this unique and formidable speed regime. It will briefly discuss the system benefits and uses for this flight regime and put in perspective, why system performance and evaluation through test for this important speed regime can create difficulties for the tester, test facility developer and project manager. Principals of test design for this unique flight regime will be discussed as well as descriptions and examples of the typical test capability types along with examples of each in the current ground test infrastructure.
Abstract: The Department of Defense’s recent interest and prioritization of developing hypersonic systems has emphasized the need for new or improved test and evaluation capabilities in order to field such systems. The hypersonic flight regime presents several challenges to designers given the high temperatures and overall harsh environment that require novel materials, advanced propulsion systems, […]
Abstract: Two of the most important scientific questions in hypersonics and counter-hypersonics are control and stochastic estimation as applied at the flow physics level and vehicle level. These two questions are fundamental to control and estimation of external aerodynamics for maneuverable re-entry vehicles and cruise missiles. Active diagnostics and control of scramjet combustion and inlet […]
Spring Forum 2022 will focus on Science and Technology Planning and Leap Ahead Technology. We will also announce our Challenge and Core solicitations with an opportunity to ask questions and work in small focus groups.
