Oscar Ruiz, CycloKinetics' Senior Vice President of Strategy & Solutions, is speaking at the Scaling Hypersonics: Affordability, Research, and Production event in Huntsville, AL this week. We look forward to connecting with key leaders, innovators, and partners across the full-spectrum of hypersonics development.
I am so excited to co-host SHARP next week. What is SHARP? Scaling Hypersonics: Affordability, Research, and Production. This comprehensive four-day event brings together key leaders, innovators, and partners across the full-spectrum of hypersonics development. (If you remember the HIGEE or the JHTO UCAH Forum, SHARP is the union of those two events.) Attendees will hear updates from hypersonic weapons program offices, the intelligence community, test and evaluation leaders, S&T project leads, and many others. Keynote speakers include HON Joe Jewell, Rear Adm. Michael Richman, Mr. Jimmy Allen, and Mr. Jacob Glassman I can't wait to see familiar faces, meet new colleagues, and move the mission forward. 🚀🚀🚀 ------------ Note: Registration is closed for this year's event, but if you're interested to be on the email distribution for next year's event comment below with your name, company, and email address.

Check out our new whitepaper, "Pilots, Planes, and Propulsion: America's Trifecta for Another Century of Air Superiority." Propulsion is an underrecognized but decisive factor in modern air combat, directly impacting range, operational reach, and mission effectiveness in contested and denied environments. As the U.S. faces intensifying competition in the Indo-Pacific, this paper makes the case that advanced propellants are critical to sustaining air superiority. Read it here. https://lnkd.in/eT-sh8yk
