Hypersonic Booster
Abstract
The Hypersonic Booster INP is intended to leverage the best ongoing hypersonic air-breathing vehicle technologies and tailor those to address naval requirements for CVN compatibility and F/A 18E/F carriage. Originally founded upon a redesign/resizing of the DARPA Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) prototype, the Hypersonic Booster INP will consider all promising hypersonic air-breathing prototype vehicle candidate concepts that have already undergone significant government-industry investment and will lead to achievement of Navy goals; to include cost, schedule and performance. This INP has chosen a multiphase approach to ensure that the most promising concept and associated performer are chosen to deliver this breakthrough technology. The Activity identified in Project Unit 3453 specifically addresses Applied Research in support of the Hypersonic Booster INP effort. In FY 2023, Proj: 3453 Hypersonic Booster is terminated and its funding realigned to other projects in this program element.
