A Comprehensive & immersive DoD/Gov and Industry experience
focusing on the Hypersonic Weapons Threat, Current Capabilities and Way
Ahead Strategies for U.S and Strategic Allies.
Global Advancements
in the development and testing of Hypersonic Weapons has outpaced the
U.S. In fact, both Russia and China have aggressively developed &
fielded
Hypersonic Weapons, ultimately permitting successful near-peer enemy global strike capabilities.
Because
of this global threat, the FY2022 Defense budget request for hypersonic
research was increased almost 20% to $3.8 billion-up from $3.2 billion
from the FY2021 request, with the Missile Defense Agency additionally
requested $247.9 million for
hypersonic defense.
With this in mind, we have created the
National Summit on Hypersonic Weapons Systems Summit to
offer an engaging forum which will comprehensively analyze and assist
in furthering dialogue on the ongoing global proliferation of
hypersonic weapons. Our summit will take a deep dive into the necessity of hastening the procurement of
hypersonic platforms
as well as the testing and fielding steps that will provide the ability
to maintain the balance of geopolitical stability.
Join the
National Summit on Hypersonic Weapons Systems Summit to explore and understand the DoD's approach to the ongoing global proliferation of
hypersonic weapons, as well as learn from senior level discussions on emerging opportunities, and needs and challenges within
Hypersonic Weapon Systems technologies.
