Teen solves centuries-old math problem
SAN DIEGO, March 30 (UPI) -- Kratos Defense and Security Solutions Inc. achieved a successful hypersonic propulsion test in support of U.S. Air Force weapons and vehicle initiatives.
As part of a contract with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division Detachment in New Mexico, U.S. company Kratos successfully conducted a hypersonic propulsion launch designed to support a sustained hypersonic flight research program.
The propulsion test, which took place at the Woomera Test Facility in South Australia, successfully collected data from speeds of more than 5,300 mph that will advance research for air-breathing strike weapons and responsive strike vehicles among other applications.
"We are extremely pleased to participate in helping to advance this new propulsion system technology," David Carter, Kratos Defense Engineering Solutions Division president, said in a statement.
"This successful mission demonstrates Kratos direct participation, capabilities and support in a number of critical national security areas, including next generation weapons research and development, weapons system support, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and ballistic missile defense."
