Hypersonic Defense is a key issue for many governments around the world, especially with hypersonic weapons being threatened to be used in the battlefield. Simulations and testing are becoming mission critical to make sure nations are best protected against potential hypersonic ballistic missiles.
The U.S. is leading the way amongst NATO members to develop hypersonic capabilities for offensive and defensive scenarios. This has been achieved by strong collaboration between the military, research institutes and industry to make sure allied nations are prepared for such attacks.
During the 2-day Hypersonic Defence conference and exhibition the event will discuss the current hypersonic capabilities of the United States military in regards to offensive and defensive scenarios. There will be a focus on the current testing and research being conducted on hypersonic weapon flight testing and flows. There will be discussion on the current collaborations and support universities and research labs provide to improve hypersonic defense capabilities.
