The report provides an overall projection and perspective of possible propulsion and energy technological capabilities. The 'Hypersonic Air Breathing Missile' is propelled by a liquid hydrocarbon fueled scramjet engine for Mach numbers of 5-8. An overview of merits, payoffs and critical technology development and demonstration needs of such an air breathing hypersonic missile, and Key Technology Development Requirements are presented. Technology Overviews are also presented on: turbomachinery propulsion; advanced technology capabilities expected in rocket propulsion; a special propulsion concept for possible tactical missile application called the pulse detonation wave engine; some advanced technologies associated with gun propulsion and its potential impact on the future warfighters' capability; laser power beaming for satellite positioning and on board power enhancement.
