Research abstract
Advanced materials are critical for increasing the range and lethality of U.S. hypersonic capabilities. UES has worked to develop a suite of UHTC materials, using their proprietary powder production method, to meet this demand. These UHTC materials have been proven in various leading edge (LE) and nozzle configurations and are ready for the next step in transition towards real components in applications where the design choices are still open. The goal of this program is to identify LE component needs, to increase the TRL/MRL of LEs further through additional testing, and to effectively enable implementation in defense applications by OEMs such as Boeing, Northrup-Grumman, and Lockheed-Martin.
