Robust experience in high-speed flight has positioned Lockheed Martin to be an industry leader in hypersonic technology, providing the most mature and cost-effective solutions for addressing increasing threats in the global security arena. They amplify many of the enduring attributes of airpower – speed, range, flexibility and precision. Hypersonic weapons provide a survivable and affordable capability that will overcome distance in contested environments using high speed, altitude and maneuverability. To give you an idea, at Mach 5, you’re traveling over a mile per second.” Hypersonic systems will travel at Mach 5 and potentially even faster. Creating hypersonic technology presents several tough, complex engineering challenges. Hypersonic systems are a game-changer for national security. Air Force are accelerating the maturation and fielding of a hypersonic weapon system. “With hypersonic capabilities being a national security priority, Lockheed Martin and the U.S. intends to invest $3 billion in hypersonics in 2002 with the aim to have a US Navy capability by 2025 and USAF by mid-2020s.” Doug Graham said. They are using their hypersonic technology to project power over the U.S. recognises the huge advances made by China and Russia particularly in their indigenous hypersonic capabilities. hypersonic strategy since 2018 as the U.S. Graham, Vice President, Advanced Programs Development, Lockheed Martin Space, Sunnyvale, CA, gave a brief on Lockheed Martin’s involvement in key U.S.
