Hypersonics Prototyping
Abstract
The Hypersonics Prototyping program enables integration and demonstration of emerging hypersonic technologies in an operational or operational-like environment to capitalize on successful laboratory hypersonic research and development efforts with high warfighter priority. Integration and demonstration of hypersonic prototypes also allows leadership to make informed strategy and resource decisions for future programs based on the results of such hypersonic prototype demonstrations. Hypersonic Prototyping enables a key linkage between research and development in the lab and fielding advanced technologies to the warfighter. Under this program, Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW), Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW), and the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) will accelerate the technology transfer of hypersonic technologies to enable a responsive, long range strike capability. In FY 2020, the HCSW program was concluded at the completion of the Critical Design Review (CDR) in March 2020. Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) is a new start for FY 2022. Throughout this program element will be future hypersonics development, which will incubate and mature new technologies, processes, and resources for the development and demonstration of hypersonic technology including, but not limited to, infrastructure advancements, digital engineering, open systems architecture, modeling and simulation, analytics, and high performance computing environments. BY funding totals include $200.116 million requested for the Pacific Defense Initiative. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Hypersonic Prototyping weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In PY 6.642 million and in CY 4.143 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
