Collaborative Hypersonic Research (CHR)
Abstract
The Collaborative Hypersonic Research (CHR) program will design, build, and demonstrate a tactical sized boost-glide hypersonic vehicle which will show direct traceability to a tactical long range strike weapon system capable of being launched from any 21 inch or larger booster system. The program will be flight experiment intensive and will leverage current activities in HTV-2 and the Air Force/Australia HiFire program to develop a robust national modeling and simulation (M&S) framework. CHR flight experiments will establish a deeper foundation of data while proving out aero/thermal and guidance, navigation and control challenges. By incrementally tackling key technology areas while constantly updating the M&S capabilities, CHR will provide key information to the tactical, conventional prompt global strike (CPGS), and hypersonic communities.
