The DOD named a state agency of The Texas A&M University System to lead a national consortium for modernizing hypersonic flight capabilities.
The Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) will manage a five-year, $20 million-per-year DOD initiative involving many of the nation’s top research universities. The universities will work cooperatively among themselves and with other key research institutions.
The University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics (UCAH) works on everything from basic research to real-world capabilities in hypersonic flight systems. Together, researchers will accelerate innovation to address the nation’s hypersonic needs and nurture the next generation of researchers in aerospace engineering and related fields.
The UCAH is managed by TEES under the leadership of one of the nation’s foremost hypersonic researchers, Dr. Rodney Bowersox.
