With the potential to transform military defense, commercial aviation, and beyond, the pursuit of hypersonic capabilities has intensified in recent years. Central to this pursuit are the specialized laboratories known as hypersonic test facilities, where the future of aerospace is being established.
On 23-24 April, the S2MARTS team hosted an in-person Industry Day event for Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonic Test Bed (MACH-TB) 2.0. MACH-TB is a program created by the Department of War (DoW) to reduce hypersonic risks and swiftly transition innovative technologies through MACH-TB stakeholders. With over 200 in-person ►
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 United States is in a hypersonic race against two of the world’s most advanced militaries, Russia and China. With the potential that Hypersonic technology holds, we must consider the impact of it in the hands of other nations.
Hypersonics research and development is happening right here in southern Indiana. More than 300 Hoosiers—engineers and scientists—are working non-stop at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division to increase U.S. hypersonic capability.
As emerging technologies enter the market, it’s imperative to stay up to date on the latest trends the Department of Defense is focused on. Currently making waves across the defense innovation space: hypersonics. So what is a hypersonic weapon?
