Glide Breaker
Abstract
Glide Breaker is developing and demonstrating a critical component technology to support a lightweight vehicle designed for precise engagement of hypersonic threats at very long range. Glide Breaker focuses on a single, critical, long-lead technology with applicability to a variety of interceptor concepts and designs. The development of the component technology will initiate with ground testing, followed by testing in a wind tunnel to develop a performance database to inform future designs and execution of a sounding rocket flight test to demonstrate the technology in a relevant hypersonic free flight environment.
