A hypersonic test bed built by Kratos took its first flight last month, launching experiments for the Missile Defense Agency and hitting speeds above Mach 5. MDA announced the successful flight of its first Hypersonic Testbed, HTB-1, June 14, which took off from Wallops Island in Virginia. Not only did it provide a high-speed test platform for the agency, but it allowed its two missile tracking satellites — launched in February and designed to detect advanced threats — to catch their first tracks of a hypersonic vehicle.

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. Something to look forward to: Night vision goggles have their uses but also many drawbacks, including their weight. A new development eliminates this cost-benefit analysis – in fact, it could revolutionize night vision technologies as we know them. Researchers have created an infrared filter that is thinner than a piece of cling wrap, weighs less than a gram, and can be placed over standard eyeglasses to allow the wearer to see in the dark.

Infrared filter allows everyday eyeglasses to double as night vision lenses

The U.S. Army is looking for small radars and signal-snooping sensors that it could sling underneath balloons flying up in the stratosphere. This is part of broader and still-evolving plans for a distributed high-altitude network to help find targets and otherwise gather intelligence, and potentially carry out other missions like communications relay, electronic warfare jamming, or even launching kinetic strikes. The service just demonstrated how valuable high-altitude balloons can be for sensing and communicating during a short-range ballistic missile test targeting a moving ship as part of a recent exercise in the Pacific.
