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
