- Space Engine Systems (SES), through its UK operations based out of Spaceport Cornwall (SES Ltd), has applied its aerospace technology expertise to a £1 Billion GBP ($1.27 Billion USD) challenge issued by the UK MoD linked to Hypersonic Technologies and was very recently notified that it had secured a place in the Hypersonic Technology and Capability Development Framework (HTCDF).
- This framework will enable the rapid development of advanced hypersonic missile capabilities, and related technology, over the next 7 years.
- Pradeep Dass, President and CTO of Space Engine Systems noted, “We are looking forward to providing the UK MoD with innovative solutions to the complex challenge of hypersonic flight as well as being a part of the growth in the UK’s industrial base in this critical sector, which we can also leverage to support a sovereign UK space launch capability.
- SES is also working closely with spaceport Cornwall, in the UK, by using a hangar at the spaceport for hypersonic flight testing.
