The Time for High-Speed Weapons
|
|
Moderator: Dr. Mark Lewis, Willis Young Professor, University of Maryland
Synopsis: Today, more than ever before, mature technologies and validated mission requirements are intersecting in favor of a high speed weapon. For the past decade, the T&E infrastructure has been leveraged to enable several focused hypersonic flight experiments which will demonstrate the feasibility of weapons in this class. Once demonstrated, these experiments will inform our decisions regarding how to leverage our test infrastructure for a weapon system acquisition and development. This session chronicles several infrastructure improvements that provided needed risk reduction for these flight experiments, describes several near term flight experiments, and outlines a strategy to go from promising technology to the field.
Panelists:
Dr. Richard Hallion - “T&E Enables Flight”
Describes our journey from building strategic systems and planetary space flight and how those systems systematically designed around tough challenges that could not be accomplished directly in our infrastructure. Then moves to describing how our collective infrastructure was retooled to meet the challenges of in the atmosphere missile defense, and working towards air breathing propulsion. Finally laying out the case that we've yet to complete what is needed or acquisition of a hypersonic weapon but have improved our T&E architecture enough to enable detailed and difficult flight experiments.
Dr. Natalie Crawford, RAND Corporation - Matured and Integrated Hypersonic Technologies will find Users”
This presentation describes the warfighter challenges today and the case for how asymmetric weapon systems offer distinct advantages. Specifically makes the case for hypersonic weapon advantages in two specific missions (cruise missile and glide weapon). Additionally, this presentation should outline current studies and war games including hypersonic weapons and how today we are developing CONOPS on their use in several conflicts.
Maj. Gen. Curtis M. Bedke, Commander, U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. - "What is Different Today"
This presentation describes the recent intersection of advances in material and computational technologies that have brought this class of vehicle closer to reality. Even with limitations in ground test and validated computational capabilities, our community has been able to integrate test and computation to achieve validation quality data so we can move toward development. It will describe specific flight experiments underway supporting hypersonic cruise missile and prompt global strike technologies. (X-51, Falcon HTV-2) including their goals and milestones. It should also make mention of coordinated physics-based flight experimentation aimed at informing the follow-on or next generation of systems (HiFiRE, etc) It should take the discussion past successful flight experiments to describe how both proposals for follow-on ACTD's (PGS, PDV and cruise missiles "RIPTIDE"?) can follow on the heels of successful completion of the flight experiments to move us closer to development and fielding of these systems.
Dr John Foulkes, TRMC - "How the T&E community is Posturing for the Potential Success of Hypersonics”
This presentation is the strategic planning part of the session and describes specific mechanisms in place to extract the pertinent information from flight and war-game/study requirements to define the direction of our T&E enterprise and formulate a strategic plan to improve our capabilities and methods in order to meet acquisition timelines. This presentation will also describe efforts within the T&E community specifically focused on high speed capabilities (CTEIP, TIPP., TES&T ). |
