Episode Introduction

In every wargame scenario run, the competitor that does not have hypersonic weapons loses. Dr. Mark Lewis explains how the US lost its leadership and what it needs to do to regain it!

The United States once held a commanding lead in the field of hypersonic research. NASA and the DoD had robust X-Plane programs which explored new technology development in critical key areas like propulsion, materials, aerothermodynamics, structures, thermal control, and flight dynamics. Unfortunately, our NASA and DoD programs and funding has evaporated over the past 50 years, key research labs and wind tunnels have been closed, and our student pipeline in advanced areas of research cannot sustain the advances in other countries like China. This is the most serious threat to our security as a nation in the immediate future. Dr. Mark Lewis explains how we allowed this to happen and what steps need to be taken to regain leadership in hypersonics!
