Summary from the notice
Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Request for Information for High Hypersonic Reentry Flight Experiment Program Introduction Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is gathering information for future partnering with industry and other government agencies to develop high-cadence, recoverable, reliable, cost-effective orbital and hypersonic reentry experiment platforms. These platforms offer exposure to extreme reentry environments with payload recovery post-fight for Technology Readiness Level (TRL) maturation and Science & Technology (S&T) advancement. AFRL aims to advance novel, innovative research areas that address capability, technology, or scientific gaps for hypersonic reentry vehicles and environments. In addition to existing orbital and hypersonic platforms, AFRL aims to further develop hypersonic testing infrastructure and platforms. Near-future capabilities include non-ballistic trajectories and high-acceleration-load (50+ g’s) flight conditions. AFRL has the following reentry experimentation priorities (not in priority order): Promote cutting-edge research to enhance the Department of War's (DOW) ability to address future science and technology (S&T) requirements for hypersonic reentry. This involves developing recoverable flight payloads designed to withstand extreme hypersonic conditions above 7.5km/s and high-acceleration forces exceeding 50 g’s including, but not limited to: Guidance, Navigation, and Control Technologies with the potential to be radiation hard…
