  • Overview of Nato Background on Scramjet Technology
    CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW OF NATO BACKGROUND ON SCRAMJET TECHNOLOGY J. Philip Drummond*, Marc Bouchez† and Charles R. McClinton‡ 1 Introduction The purpose of the present overview is to summarise the current knowledge of the NATO contributors. All the topics will be addressed in this chapter, with references and some examples. This background enhances the level of knowledge of the NATO scramjet community, which will be used for writing the specific chapters of the Report. Some previous overviews have been published on scramjet technology worldwide. One of the most documented within the available overviews on scramjet technology worldwide is [D1] from Dr. Tom Curran. NASA, DOD, the U.S. industry and global community have studied scramjet-powered hypersonic vehicles for over 40 years. Within the U.S. alone, NASA, DOD (DARPA, U.S. Navy and USAF), and industry have participated in hypersonic technology development. Over this time NASA Langley Research Center continuously studied hypersonic system design, aerothermodynamics, scramjet propulsion, propulsion-airframe integration, high temperature materials and structural architectures, and associated facilities, instrumentation and test methods. These modestly funded programs were substantially augmented during the National Aero-Space Plane (X-30) Program, which spent more than $3B between 1984 and 1995, and brought the DOD and other NASA Centers, universities and industry back into hypersonics. In addition, significant progress was achieved in all technologies required for hypersonic flight, and much of that technology was transferred into other programs, such as X-33, DC-X, X-37, X-43, etc. In addition, technology transfer impacted numerous other industries, including automotive, medical, sports and aerospace.

    International Conference on Methods of Aerophysical Research, ICMAR 2008 RESEARCH TRAINING GROUP GRK 1095/1: "AERO-THERMODYNAMIC DESIGN OF A SCRAMJET PROPULSION SYSTEM" U. Gaisbauer 1), B. Weigand 2) 1) Institute for Aerodynamics and Gasdynamics, Universität Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 21, 70569 Stuttgart 2) Institute of Aerospace Thermodynamics, Universität Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 31, 70569 Stuttgart Overview In the near future vehicles for hypersonic flight as well as new two-stage reusable space transportation systems will be required. To be able to reach the hypersonic flight regime the use of air breathing propulsion systems with supersonic combustion is the main problem to be solved concerning the design and the overall vehicle conception of hypersonic aircrafts. In this context only the use of a scramjet- propulsion system meets all the aerodynamic and gas dynamic requirements and offers a real alternative towards the classical rocket driven systems. Moreover, it must always be kept in mind that scramjet-technologies are one of the key technologies for hypersonic flight. Accordingly, in Germany a working group was founded to concentrate the activities taking place at different universities and to continue the work done in the three so called “hypersonic” Special Research Centres (SFB) for more then 14 years. Consequently, the main scientific objective of all these projects networked within this new “Research Training Group GRK 1095/1” is the design and the development of a scramjet demonstrator engine using necessarily different experimental and numerical procedures and tools, provided by the involved scientists. This scramjet demonstrator engine includes all the highly integrated components like forebody, inlet, isolator, combustion chamber and nozzle, assigned to their specific use.

McClean, VA 1 FOREWORD Russia has long been captivated by the power of information as a weapon, most notably in a historical sense using propaganda to influence and persuade audiences. With the onset of the information age, the concept’s development and application increased dramatically. The power of information-technologies when applied to weaponry increased the latter’s capabilities due to increased reconnaissance and precision applications. The power of social media was used to influence populations both at home and abroad. Both developments fit perfectly into Russia’s information warfare concept, whose two aspects are information-technical and information-psychological capabilities. Information’s universality, covertness, variety of software and hardware forms and implementation, efficiency of use when choosing a time and place of employment, and, finally, cost effectiveness make it a formidable commodity when assessed as weaponry. Russian efforts to define and use IWes are well documented. In the 1990s there were efforts to define information weapons (IWes) at the United Nations, efforts that failed.

The potential turnover of frozen ground from a carbon sink to a carbon source, eroding coastlines, landslides, amplified surface deformation and endangerment of human infrastructure are some of the consequences connected with thawing permafrost. Satellite remote sensing is hereby a powerful tool to identify and monitor these features and processes on a spatially explicit, cheap, operational, long-term basis and up to circum-Arctic scale. By filtering after a selection of relevant keywords, a total of 325 articles from 30 international journals published during the last two decades were analyzed based on study location, spatio- temporal resolution of applied remote sensing data, platform, sensor combination and studied environmental focus for a comprehensive overview of past achievements, current efforts, together with future challenges and opportunities. The temporal development of publication frequency, utilized platforms/sensors and the addressed environmental topic is thereby highlighted.

  • Hypersonics: Past, Present, and Potential Future
    Hypersonics: Past, Present, and Potential Future Hypersonics: Past, Present, and Potential Future David M. Van Wie ABSTRACT Hypersonic technologies have been investigated for more than six decades, and important operational capabilities exist in the form of reentry, space lift, and interceptor systems. Today, new classes of hypersonic weapons capabilities are emerging throughout the world. This article provides a brief overview of the history, today’s state of the art, and the future potential for hypersonics. THE BASICS Although hypersonic technologies and systems have As flight speeds and associated energy levels increase, existed for more than 60 years, national and inter- additional physical phenomena become important, and national interest in them has varied. At times these the term hypersonics was introduced to refer to these technologies are viewed as critically important, and at speeds.
