Scalable Hypersonics From Space

• about arc

Affordable hypersonic flight testing at conditions you need and the cadence you want.

The demand for hypersonic testing is accelerating faster than existing infrastructure can support. Meeting this moment requires routine, scalable flight testing.

Arc is a first-of-its-kind hypersonic testbed delivering higher speeds, extended time on condition, and sustained high-g loading. Designed for reuse and payload flexibility, Arc makes hypersonic testing more affordable and turnkey.

1

Threat Representative

Arc’s high-hypersonic lift over drag enables a range of realistic, threat-representative trajectories for testing and targeting.

2

Minutes of hypersonic flight, not seconds

Most hypersonic platforms touch condition for seconds. Arc sustains hypersonic environments for minutes – unlocking real thermal, structural, and sensor data instead of transient snapshots.

3

Your flight, your way

Arc’s autonomous flight control system lets customers select flight conditions tailored to their desired testing needs.

Removable payload bays with standardized mounting

Arc supports internal and external payloads through standardized mounting interfaces, so you spend time on your payload – not integration.

Payload bays are fully removable and shippable, enabling customer integration at your facility independent of Arc.
