Integrated Hypersonics (IH)
Abstract
The goal of the Integrated Hypersonics (IH) program was to develop, mature, and test next-generation technologies needed for tactical to global-range, maneuverable, hypersonic flight. IH sought to achieve technological advances in the areas of: next generation aero-configurations; thermal protection systems and hot structures; hypersonic airbreathing propulsion, adaptive guidance, navigation, and control; enhanced range and data collection methods; and advanced propulsion concepts, including real-time trajectory planning. The IH program addressed technical challenges and improved understanding of boost-glide and airbreathing hypersonic flight through innovative ground-based testing, expanded modeling and simulation, and advanced analytic methods. The Integrated Hypersonics (IH) program results are planned for transition to the Air Force and the Navy.
