Research abstract
We present a groundbreaking technology for detecting, tracking, and identifying hypersonic vehicles that goes beyond the traditional spectral bands of the Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) systems. Under P-I, we are proposing to explore the fundamental physics and chemistry related to our paradigm. We will build sensors for ground testing in ballistic ranges and enhance M&S and CFD capabilities to predict the phenomenology.
