2020 Hypersonic Technology & Systems Conference

Sustained hypersonic flight within dense atmosphere has substantial utility. 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 and Control
Programmatic Review
Defense Against Hypersonic Systems
Detecting & Tracking Hypersonic Objects
Sensing in a Hypersonic Environment
Ground Test Facilities and Instrumentation
Systems Engineering, Architecture, Analysis & Design
Flight Testing
Kill Chain, Mission Planning & C4ISR
Weapons Effects & Lethality
HTSC’s emphasis is on systems and applied technology. This conference highlights the nation’s investments in systems integrated hypersonic technologies for both research and development and weapon platform integration for 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.
