The organization, which works with non-traditional companies to push commercial technology to military users, plans to select providers by the end of this year and aims to fly the aircraft sometime in the next two years, according to a Sept. 1 posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DoD is on track to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2022\/03\/14\/what-should-be-the-united-states-next-move-on-hypersonic-tech\/\" target=\"_blank\">spend about $15 billion<\/a> between 2015 and 2024 developing hypersonic systems, which can fly at speeds greater than Mach 5, or about one mile per second. That investment is spread across about 70 programs led by the military services and their research labs, which are largely testing weapon systems, but are beginning to consider the technology for high-speed cargo transport and presidential airlift applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Testing infrastructure has been a significant limiting factor in the development process, with most major programs conducting only a few trials each year. Barry Kirkendall, DIU\u2019s technical director for space, told C4ISRNET in a Sept. 1 interview that the ideal testing cadence for these programs is closer to one flight per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of HyCAT, he said, is to help push the department toward that target using commercial technology to free up some of that infrastructure and leverage the test aircraft to validate new materials and systems. The program is not only seeking air vehicle designs, but is also interested in associated technologies, like hypersonic propulsion systems and advanced materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis whole effort is to try to innovate and get past some of these log jams that we have that have been building up over the last decade or so,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For HyCAT, DIU is partnered with the office of the principal director for hypersonics, which falls under the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. Kirkendall said the research and engineering office approached DIU in March \u2014 about a month after senior <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2022\/02\/04\/top-pentagon-officials-met-with-industry-executives-about-hypersonics-what-comes-next\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pentagon leaders met with industry executives<\/a> to discuss impediments to fielding these capabilities \u2014 to explore opportunities to work with commercial companies who are advancing hypersonic technology with private investor funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHere at DIU, we\u2019ve made a lot of good things happen with investor money,\u201d Kirkendall said, noting that not only does HyCAT help address DoD\u2019s testing issues, it strengthens its relationship with the commercial hypersonics market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HyCAT is open to international industry, he said, adding that the organization expects to see interest from companies in Japan, Australia, Norway and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ryan Weed, DIU\u2019s program manager for HyCAT, said there has been some skepticism within the department about whether there is a real commercial market for hypersonic technology, but he thinks that mindset is changing. One sign of that shift is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2021\/08\/05\/aerospace-startup-gets-60m-from-the-us-air-force-to-build-hypersonic-passenger-plane\/\" target=\"_blank\">$60 million deal<\/a> the U.S. Air Force struck in 2021 with Atlanta-based startup Hermeus Corporation to support the company\u2019s development of a hypersonic passenger vehicle. The service has said the work could inform plans for future high-speed cargo or presidential transport aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think the fact that they put money towards this and are getting serious about possibly supporting a program of record in this area,\u201d he said in the same Sept. 1 interview. \u201cI think that\u2019s a huge shift in mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weed said he expects the number of companies interested in the project to land \u201cin the dozens.\u201d DIU expects to choose multiple providers, but he said the full scope of the effort and the cost to the department will depend on the responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re kind of like, \u2018We want to tag along with you, but we don\u2019t want to drive the boat,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to develop a program that only has military applications and is only supported financially from the DoD.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HyCAT is one of three new hypersonics-focused projects at DIU. Weed declined to discuss the other opportunities in detail, but said they will likely be announced fairly soon and center more on technology development and exploration of new concepts for operating hypersonic systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DIU is seeking proposals from commercial industry for a hypersonic test aircraft to help alleviate the strain on DoD testing
