About this award
The University of Queensland has been awarded $241,082 by the U.S. Air Force under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) to conduct a three-year investigation into ablation products in the near wake of high-speed hypersonic vehicles. The project commenced on September 30, 2025, and is scheduled for completion by September 29, 2028. This research will be performed at the university's facilities in Australia and contributes to the Air Force's broader objective of maintaining technological superiority in defense-related scientific areas while preventing technological surprise.
The investigation focuses on the fundamental scientific and applied research necessary to understand the behavior and characteristics of ablation products—materials that erode or ablate from vehicle surfaces during hypersonic flight. This research directly supports Air Force mission capabilities in advanced aerospace systems and represents a collaborative partnership between the Department of the Air Force and an internationally recognized research institution specializing in aerospace propulsion systems and hypersonic technologies.
