The U.S. Department of Defense Test Resource Management Center (TRMC), in partnership with Naval Surface Warfare Center, conducted a commercially launched Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonics Test Bed (MACH-TB) flight test in November.
MACH-TB accelerates delivery of advanced capabilities to the warfighter by providing a hypersonic flight test capability for DoD and other Federal agencies.
Mr. George Rumford, Director of the TRMC, stated, "Leveraging commercial launch services allows our Nation to affordably test components early and frequently, accelerating hypersonic development."
