DARPA Seeks Innovative Concepts for Next-Gen Hypersonic Cruise Missile
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting radical industry ideas to develop a new generation of hypersonic weapons. Through a recent request for information, DARPA aims to achieve a 'revolutionary leap' in missile performance, focusing on range, speed, and altitude. The agency seeks to build and test a demonstrator for the Next Generation Hypersonic Cruise Missile, emphasizing high-risk, high-reward technologies. This initiative is part of DARPA's broader effort to maintain technological superiority and address the challenges posed by advanced adversary air defenses.
