Hypersonics is one of the highest priority modernization areas within our National Defense Strategy. Our potential adversaries in this great power competition have dramatically increased their emphasis on weaponizing hypersonic technologies to create a potential capability gap we must not allow to stand. We must maintain our battlefield dominance at sea, in the air, on land, in space, and now in near space. Our focus is to achieve effective, affordable, and enduring hypersonic capabilities. To that end, we are developing an integrated, capability-based Science and Technology (S and T) strategy that will identify and address key technical gaps to enable near-term capabilities and enhance future capabilities. As we accelerate our research and development to field hypersonic warfighting capabilities, we must continue to advance our scientific understanding of hypersonic flight environments, fully explore the boundaries of the design space, and continue our investments, collaboration, and integration in pursuit of the most advanced and effective systems.
Greetings from the Assistant Director of Hypersonics, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, Mr. Michael White
