High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP): An ionospheric research program jointly funded by DARPA, the U.S. Air Force's AFRL and the U.S. Navy's NRL. [230] The most prominent area during this research was the high-power radio frequency transmitter facility, which tested the use of the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI).
The NGAD originated from Defense Advanced Research Project Agency studies initiated in 2014 to explore concepts for air superiority systems of the 2030s for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. DARPA completed its Air Dominance Initiative study in March 2014 and based on the results, the Department of Defense acquisition chief Frank Kendall launched the Aerospace Innovation Initiative (AII) in ...
Air-launched rocket for hypersonic flight research [73] X-61 Gremlins: Dynetics: DARPA 2020 Air-launched and air-recoverable reconnaissance unmanned air vehicle (UAV) [74] [75] X-62 VISTA: Lockheed Martin/Calspan USAF 2021 Variable In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft. First flew in 1993 as the NF-16D (for the MATV program). Designated the X-62A ...
The Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC, pronounced "hawk") is a scramjet powered hypersonic air-launched cruise missile project at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), [1] that had a successful hypersonic flight announced in September 2021. [2] [3] It is a kinetic energy weapon, without an explosive warhead. [4]
Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) will test their Skyborg manned-unmanned programs such as Autonomous Air Combat Operations (AACO), [53] and DARPA will test its Air Combat Evolution (ACE) [8] artificial intelligence program. [54] The System for Autonomous Control of Simulation (SACS) software for human interface is being developed by Calspan ...
The Miniature Air-Launched Decoy (MALD) program was begun in 1995 by DARPA in an effort to develop a small, low-cost decoy missile for use in the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses. Teledyne Ryan (acquired by Northrop Grumman in 1999) was granted a development contract for the ADM-160A in 1996, and the first test flight took place in 1999. The ...
The AGM-158C LRASM (Long Range Anti-Ship Missile) is a stealth air launch anti-ship cruise missile developed for the United States Air Force and United States Navy by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (). [7]
