Hypersonics: DoD’s Development Strategy for Missiles
Participants can earn 1 CPE credit
Few technologies/capabilities have presented a greater challenge to national defense than the development of hypersonic missiles and countermeasures to defend against them. Programs like the Air Force’s Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile and Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon, as well as DARPA’s Glide Breaker, are addressing both sides of the hypersonic threat scenario.
For this Breaking Defense webinar, we bring together senior military leadership and other technical experts to discuss the status of hypersonic programs now in development and the engineering challenges they’re solving for in design, test, and development; how hypersonic technology is accelerating innovation in defense; and how the DoD is building a layered, defensive architecture that extends from space-based sensors to ground-based defeat mechanisms.
AGENDA:
Webinar Panel: We will discuss the following:
- The current hypersonics threat scenario, including Russia’s use of hypersonics against Ukraine.
- How the DoD is responding with both offensive and defense hypersonic programs.
- The networking and sensor architecture associated with hypersonics.
- Next steps for these initiatives.
Tech Perspective: Matthew McAlonis of TE Connectivity discusses what industry can provide in hypersonics.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Familiarity with the different types of offensive and defensive hypersonics.
- Knowledge of the technical challenges associated with development and manufacture of hypersonic weapons.
- Understanding the lessons learned in Russia’s use of hypersonics.
- How defensive systems create deterrence for national security.
