We Proudly Announce the 2nd Annual National Hypersonic Weapons Systems Summit - A Flagship National Defense "Must Attend" Program for DoD - Government & Industry.

More information

With the proliferation of hypersonic systems increasing with both emerging and near peer adversaries the speed at which the U.S. needs to research, develop and advance U.S. hypersonic weapon technologies is at a critical stage. This summit will address these critical needs in advancement as well as how to use these technologies to further develop & enhance our global posture.

Our interactive event will not only give you unprecedented close-up access to hypersonic experts each discussing the DoD's approach to the ongoing global proliferation of hypersonic weapons, but will also give you opportunities for one-on-one networking with the people you want to learn and hear from the most.

Our highly comprehensive agenda cover topics ranging from defining mission requirements, advancements in R&D, emerging testing and fielding, necessary mission requirements and way forward as hypersonic weapons are further adopted into a joint operational doctrine.

April 2023 will include

• 30+ Expert Speakers found in no other setting offering attendees two full days of can't miss topics and unsurpassed on-to-one networking opportunities
• 4+ hours of Networking - including Evening Reception, Breaks, Group Luncheons
• 4 Keynotes and 9 Panel sessions

This event is closed to members of the media, no recording of presentations will be authorized.

Please Note: Only United States Government, Contractors and Academia, NATO Nations and Allies will be allowed to attend this summit.
