M\u00e1s de 250 participantes de universidades, el gobierno y la industria se reunieron para discutir innovaciones de vanguardia en \u00e1reas cr\u00edticas relacionadas con la s tecnolog\u00edas hipers\u00f3nicas. El reciente Consorcio lanz\u00f3 dos nuevos proyectos de desaf\u00edos multidisciplinarios por un valor de m\u00e1s de US$18 millones, que brindar\u00e1n oportunidades para que las universidades actualmente bajo contrato, agreguen investigadores universitarios para mejorar el desarrollo de la fuerza laboral en el \u00e1rea de hipers\u00f3nica. La UCAH est\u00e1 patrocinada por la Oficina Conjunta de Transici\u00f3n Hipers\u00f3nica (JHTO) en la Oficina del Subsecretario de Defensa para Investigaci\u00f3n e Ingenier\u00eda (USD(R&E).<\/p>\n
The DoD announced today that the UCAH, the first technical community dedicated to applied hypersonic science and technology for national defense, concluded its two-day spring forum on Thursday at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The forum consisted of panels focused on the United States\u2019 ability to surpass the competition in hypersonic technologies. More than 250 participants from universities, government, and industry gathered to discuss state-of-the-art innovations in critical hypersonic-related areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur focus is not just to leap frog our competitors, but to leap far ahead, where our capabilities will be unmatched and not easily imitated,\u201d said Dr. Gillian Bussey, JHTO Director.<\/p>\n
The growing Consortium recently rolled out two new multi-disciplinary challenge projects worth more than $18 million, which will provide opportunities for universities currently under contract to add undergraduate researchers to enhance hypersonic workforce development. The UCAH is sponsored by the Joint Hypersonic Transition Office (JHTO) in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E).<\/p>\n
