2022 Hypersonic Technology & Systems Conference 24 - 27 October 2022
This conference highlights the nation’s investments in integrated hypersonic technologies for both research and development and weapon platform integration to enable offense and defense. It brings together the best and brightest involved in the development and use of hypersonic technologies in a unique, limited-attendance forum which will facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration opportunities. This event is held at a restricted access level. Please see the security page for more information.
Advances in underlying technologies and integration into weapon systems offer the DoD significant enhancements in its ability to penetrate heavily defended areas and prosecute time-critical targets. Other nations are also actively pursuing these technologies; as such, defense against such systems is also of increased interest. The technologies required to enable the reliable use of hypersonic vehicles are multi-disciplinary.
Some of these technologies that HTSC focuses on include:
Thermal Protection & Management Systems
Propulsion
Aerodynamics & Aerothermodynamics
Navigation, Guidance & Control and Electrical Systems
Programmatic Review
Defense Against Hypersonic Systems
Detecting & Tracking Hypersonic Objects
Sensing in a Hypersonic Environment
Ground Test Facilities & Instrumentation
Systems Engineering (including Digital Engineering), Architecture, Analysis & Design
Flight Testing
Kill Chain, Mission Planning & C4ISR
Weapon Effects & Lethality
