Leidos announced it has successfully completed a commercial launch vehicle test for the Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonic Test Bed (MACH-TB) program in November.
“The success of this launch marks an important milestone for our hypersonic testing services,” said Larry Barisciano, aerospace systems lead for Leidos. “The program’s goal is to consistently and rapidly test various payloads to help the government assess technical readiness levels of advanced hypersonic capabilities. This launch serves as a testament to the speed in which Leidos could pull the program together, highlighting the agility Leidos provides for customers.”
George Rumford, director of the U.S. Department of Defense Test Resource Management Center, stated, “Leveraging commercial launch services allows our nation to affordably test components early and frequently, accelerating hypersonic development.”
The project was awarded to Leidos by Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane through the Strategic and Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems Other Transaction Authority vehicle on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense Test Resource Management Center.
