Hypersonic Testing

A HIGHER STANDARD FOR TESTING HYPERSONIC PROJECTILES

Hypersonic weapons present unique testing challenges that few organizations have the expertise or ingenuity to meet. Element U.S. Space & Defense is at the forefront of hypersonic testing, developing complex testing protocols that accurately simulate the extreme stresses placed on weaponry at the upper limits of achievable speed. Key services include:

• Material coupon testing and full scale testing
• Thermal exposure testing up to 4,000°F
• High mass flow of hot air testing
• Temperature measurement to 2,800°F
• Variable air pressure environments ranging from vacuum to elevated pressure
