Hypersonics Prototyping

Abstract

The Hypersonic Prototyping project 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 based for future programs 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 project, Air-Launched Rapid response Weapon (ARRW) and Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW) will accelerate the technology transfer of hypersonic technologies to enable a responsive, long range strike capability. Project 645345, Hypersonics Prototyping, is new for FY 2019. In FY 2018, the entirety of this project was previously reported in Project 645351, Prototyping, under the Lifecycle Prototyping effort. In FY 2017, this work was reported in Project 645350, Experimentation (named Transition Prioritization in FY 2017) under the Experimentation and Prototyping effort. This is administrative realignment to provide increase transparency to Congress and not a new start.
