Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Request for Information for High Hypersonic Reentry Flight Experiment Program Introduction Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is gathering information for future partnering with industry and other government agencies to develop high-cadence, recoverable, reliable, cost-effective orbital and hypersonic reentry experiment platforms. These platforms offer exposure to extreme reentry environments with payload recovery post-fight for Technology Readiness Level (TRL) maturation and Science & Technology (S&T) advancement. AFRL aims to advance novel, innovative research areas that address capability, technology, or scientific gaps for hypersonic reentry vehicles and environments. In addition to existing orbital and hypersonic platforms, AFRL aims to further develop hypersonic testing infrastructure and platforms. Near-future capabilities include…
