3rd Hypersonic Innovation Conference (HIC)

The 3rd Annual Hypersonic Innovation Conference is America's official hypersonics event, featuring many Senior military leaders, acquisition authorities, & technical experts from across industry & academia. This “town-hall” style forum will offer attendees from military, government, industry, and academia a wide range of next-generation products and services that are enabling the U.S. military to design, test, manufacture, and scale hypersonic missiles in an era of Strategic Competition. Senior leaders at this event will address how the DoD is working to rapidly field innovative capabilities & strengthen the supply chains of strategic systems to keep pace with the evolving threat of hypersonic weapons.  

Hypersonic weapons, which are developed and engineered to fly faster than Mach 5, be highly maneuverable against enemy air defenses, and able to attack time-sensitive targets — are and continue to be a critical technology area for the Pentagon as U.S. military services try to match rapidly modernizing adversaries. Speakers from across the DoD will stress how building & defending against hypersonic weapons will be vital to preserving national security & ensuring Warfighters have the capabilities needed to win in the multi-domain battlespace.

This three day Event will host the Main Conference & Exhibits May 7-8, and will feature a Classified Day on May 9.
