Kratos Defense & Security, an American military technology company, has started testing a new hypersonic vehicle just one month after signing a billion-dollar contract.
The information was shared by the company in a press release, which mentioned the start of tests for the Multifunctional Hypersonic Test Bed (MACH-TB) program.
The MACH-TB program was launched by the U.S. Navy in 2022 to develop cost-effective testing methods for hypersonic technologies to accelerate their development and deployment.
After testing the Erinyes vehicle, Kratos emphasized that the test confirmed the potential for rapid and cost-effective development, production, and deployment of hypersonic technologies.
Eric DeMarco, president and CEO of Kratos, praised the collaboration with the U.S. Navy, stating that the focus on accessibility and deployment agility helps strengthen national security efforts.
