Abstract

DARPA carries out several R&D programs for hypersonic vehicles to maintain the U.S. military superiority in air and space. Falcon program is the core of the DARPA's activitiy for the hypersonics including the long-term step-by-step approach from HTV-1, HTV-2, HTV-3X to HCV. Hypersonic Turbo-Based Combined Cycle (TBCC) engine technologies research and development programs, HiSTED, FaCET and Vulcan, are also the parts of their activities. Present article presents the summarized review on the backgrounds, technologies and relationships of those programs.

DARPA는 항공 우주 분야에서 미국의 군사적 우위를 유지하기 위하여 다양한 극초음속 비행체 연구개발 프로그램을 진행하고 있다. DARPA의 극초음속 비행체 개발의 중심에는 HTV-1, HTV-2, HTV-3X를 거쳐 HCV로 진행되는 단계별 장기 계획을 포함하는 Falcon 프로그램이 있으며, 극초음속 항공기의추진기관인 TBCC 엔진 기술 연구 개발 프로그램인 HiSTED, FaCET, MoTr 및 Vulcan 프로그램을 진행하고 있다. 본 문건은 이들 프로그램의 배경 및 기술 요소 및 프로그램 사이의 관계 등에 정리한 것이다.
