Case Study, S²MARTS OTA

Propelling Hypersonic Innovation Forward with MACH-TB

Challenge: The United States has an urgent need to rapidly prototype and test hypersonic technology in order to compete with adversaries. Hypersonic capabilities are crucial for maintaining technical dominance in defense, especially as the hypersonic race intensifies. The Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonics Test Bed (MACH-TB) involved the government seeking proof of concept and prototype demonstration of modular Experimental Glide Body (EGB) testing hypersonic technologies/experimental payloads in operational trajectories using already available boosters.

Read the full case study >

Solution: This program aims to design and test an experimental glide body to bolster various Department of Defense (DoD) initiatives related to hypersonic technology. The solution and end state goal are to prototype a modular EGB that can accelerate technology and subsystem development and testing, design a modular software/hardware/interface test bed architecture, and leverage existing booster systems to enable the EGB to replicate operational or modified hypersonic trajectories.

Result

On June 17, 2023, the MACH-TB program successfully launched its first suborbital testbed vehicle in a critical step forward toward advancing U.S. hypersonic technology. The inaugural launch took place on June 17 at 9:24 p.m. UTC from Rocket Lab’s Launch Complex 2 at Virginia’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport within NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility.

“As the hypersonic race intensifies, there is an urgent need to quickly prototype and test this technology,” said S²MARTS Director Doug Crowe. “The MACH-TB launch announcement marks a pivotal stride forward in preserving America’s unrivaled technical dominance.”
