The Pentagon's Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) has awarded a contract to Australia-based Hypersonix for its DART AE hypersonic demonstrator.
The project, which is being led by DIU in partnership with the Pentagon's Test Resource Management Center and the principal director for hypersonics, aims to ease the burden on government testing infrastructure by utilizing commercial aircraft, payloads, and supporting technology. Since the program's initiation last September, Hypersonix has been one of the three companies awarded contracts through HyCAT.
“These next couple months are really where we’re going to solidify exactly how that’s going to look,” Lt. Col. Estep told C4ISRNET. “We’re trying to basically validate and make sure that we understand exactly how that mission has to run from start to finish,” he added. The demand for testing infrastructure, such as ground-based test beds and aircraft, is incredibly high, resulting in only a few trials for major programs being conducted each year.
