Hypersonic weapons ... Congress and the DoD should look more closely at maneuverable reentry vehicles (MaRVs) launched on traditional ballistic missiles as a possible alternative for overcoming ...

UDRI research in this area focuses on aerospace vehicles capable of sustained flight at hypersonic speeds. UDRI is currently conducting research and development in materials and structures for ...

A typical challenge for re-entry vehicles during flight is an effective control of hypersonic transition and the laminar/turbulent state of the boundary layer. The state of the boundary layer is of ...

Masashi Murano, a senior fellow with the Hudson Institute's Japan Chair, described the new weapon as a short-range ballistic missile armed with a reentry vehicle that can maneuver at hypersonic ...

Abstract: The design of next-generation, high-speed flight vehicles requires a combination of robust flow ... and inferred time-histories and reaction rates at the extreme conditions relevant to ...

The rapid prediction of aerodynamic performance is critical in the conceptual and preliminary design of hypersonic vehicles.
