SCIFIRE Aircraft Integration

Abstract

The SCIFIRE Aircraft Integration project conducted system engineering activities to include conceptual systems analysis, modeling and simulation, and wind tunnel test preparations to validate compatibility of the proposed hypersonic weapon system prototype on a fourth-generation fighter aircraft. SCIFIRE Aircraft Integration is a co-development effort partnering with the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and a partner nation to prototype and demonstrate a hypersonic weapon system. In FY 2020, early-stage activities required to support store separation wind tunnel testing in the partner nation were completed. In FY 2021, SCIFIRE Aircraft Integration activities will transition to Program Element 0604331D8Z Rapid Prototyping Program for further development. Additional details are classified.
