Hypersonic Hardware-in-the-Loop
Abstract
Develop an independent government hypersonic testbed supporting assessment and maturation of industry and/or government technology approaches. Leverage existing facilities and extend ballistic and/or hypersonic kill vehicle hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) by integrating with evolving hypersonic sensor HWIL capabilities. Provide a prototype platform consisting of technologies necessary to evaluate the potential of new kill vehicle concepts to identify, track, and engage emerging threats; including vehicles with dynamically changing aerothermal signatures. Assess, mature, and integrate high-fidelity environmental truth models and/or representations for aerothermal, aero-optics and/or jet interaction for hypersonic flight environments to provide accurate simulations for digital scene injections into kill vehicle concept representations in HWIL facilities. Bolster prototype development and maturation by upgrading hypersonic HWIL capabilities through pathfinder process integrating agile continuous integration and/or continuous delivery capabilities.
