6 Material Development Challenges Extreme heat requiring
Thermal Protection System (TPS), shell made of advanced materials
TPS materials tested in Arc Jet Heaters up to 180 atmospheres &
13,000 degR Arc jets achieve these extreme temperatures by flowing
high pressure air over an electric arc and through a supersonic
nozzle Bottom Line: Designing test facilities is just as
challenging as designing hypersonic flight vehicles Game-Changing
Technologies Challenges in Hypersonic T&E Hypersonic flight
environment is difficult to replicate on the ground Hypersonic
flows are difficult to accurately model Scramjet Test at NASA
Langley Arc Jet Heater Hypersonic Vehicle in Flight

large scale, high fidelity test and training environments Extremely
malicious threats can be unleashed on operationally, representative
systems and networks to assess the impact on the network, networked
weapon systems, the associated mission Significant technological
advancements incorporated into integrated tool suite Highlighted by
the significant level of automation Ability to support up to four
concurrent events, executed in completely isolated testbeds, at
different levels of classification Automated sanitization
capability Expunges all malicious code from every component used
within the event and returns it to a pristine state ready for reuse
Sanitizes not only storage but also servers (including non-volatile
RAM) and network equipment Time saving In many cases, what
previously took weeks or months has been reduced to hours or days
Allowing users the ability to rapidly plan, execute, and analyze
their test or training initiatives NCR also provides SME Available,
at the discretion of the user, to support the planning, execution
and analysis of test and training events NCR is able to collaborate
with other cyber ranges using secure networks When test events
require special capabilities or additional scale National Cyber
