Propulsion Science and Technology Development
Abstract
In alignment with the jointly-developed Hypersonics S&T Roadmap, the JHTO funds propulsion science and technology projects designed to enhance propulsion capabilities for both offensive and defensive hypersonic systems. These efforts will close critical gaps in the development of hypersonic cruise missiles and enhance range and/or payload capacity of boost-glide systems. Focus areas for these projects include solid rocket motor component technologies, expanding the operating envelope of Dual-Mode Ramjet/Scramjet propulsion systems, developing new actuator technologies for axial thrusters, and establishing a proof-of-principle for an improved endothermic fuel for hypersonic applications. Additional details regarding these projects are sensitive and/or classified and can be provided upon request.
