Description
Request For Information (RFI) Hypersonic weapons are anticipated to provide revolutionary warfighting capabilities. The Department of the Air Force is in the planning stage for a research program focused on the technical maturation for materials and process (M&P) and related materials behavior and life prediction in extreme environments expected in hypersonic flight. Technology options are sought to reduce the risks associated with acquisition decisions for a notional expendable hypersonic vehicle (EHV) in the 2020 timeframe. Two concepts are being considered. The first is a hypersonic cruise missile with an onboard airbreathing propulsion system to maintain hypersonic velocities. The second is a boost glide (BG) weapon with a higher initial velocity to maintain hypersonic gliding flight. Both weapon concepts will be launched from an aircraft and will be designed to achieve similar mission objectives. To support the near-term weapon system transition focus, specific M&P and behavior and life prediction technology options that have the highest payoff by solving critical problems or significantly lowering risk associated with the anticipated weapon system acquisition should be emphasized.
