Raytheon has officially been awarded an $81 million contract to continue developing and refining DARPA's Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC).
“These technologies include advancing hydrocarbon scramjet-powered propulsion operation, upgrading aircraft integration algorithms, and improving manufacturing approaches,” Buccellato said.
These tests provided valuable data for DARPA, but, as the agency admits, more work is needed. This will include further data analysis and research and development. It is for this reason, among others, that this new Raytheon contract has been launched.
