Hypersonics are the new dimension of space flight, but research has yet to go deep on the effects of hypersonics on human passengers. Moreover, the United States Department of Defense is just one entity of many developing, testing, and deploying hypersonic weapons. This episode in Defense One’s “Tech Talks” series will explore the future of manned hypersonics as they provide a route to space exploration. We’ll discuss how AI plays into hypersonic development and operation, and we’ll investigate how public and private organizations are approaching the future of hypersonic vehicles.
