Stratolaunch, LLC is happy to announce they’ve been added as a associate to the Multiservice Superior Functionality Take a look at Mattress (MACH-TB) venture awarded by Naval Floor Warfare Middle (NSWC), Crane Division via the Strategic and Spectrum Missions Superior Resilient Trusted Methods (S²MARTS)Different Transaction Settlement (OTA). One of many key improvements of the NSWC Crane MACH-TB initiative focuses on supporting hypersonic applications via alternatives to flight take a look at applied sciences with strong, agile, and modular approaches. The Dynetics-led crew will reveal methods to affordably prototype a testbed that leverages industrial launch autos, together with Stratolaunch’s Talon-A automobile, for flight testing hypersonic payloads.
“We’re excited for the chance for Talon-A flights to be built-in into the MACH-TB program as a part of the Dynetics crew. We sit up for offering flight take a look at alternatives wanted to advance hypersonics techniques growth for the companies,” stated Dr. Zachary Krevor, Chief Govt Officer for Stratolaunch. “This partnership will speed up the frequency of testing that’s crucial to lowering the chance of hypersonic system expertise growth.”

The information collected will present perception to the DoD on expertise enchancment and functionality validation. Early, reasonably priced, and common hypersonic flight testing results in strong and profitable developments of hypersonic weapon techniques. Stratolaunch’s Talon-A, a reusable autonomous hypersonic testbed, will function as a high-cadence, high-speed testbed to advance the MACH-TB program growth. Stratolaunch’s hypersonic flight take a look at service immediately enhances the objectives of MACH-TB.
Stratolaunch’s mission is to advance high-speed expertise via modern design, manufacturing, and operation of world-class aerospace autos. Dynetics, a completely owned subsidiary of Leidos, supplies responsive, cost-effective engineering, scientific, IT options to nationwide safety, cybersecurity, house and important infrastructure sectors.
