4 Performance (e.g. W/cm 2 ) MACH Scope and Objectives New leading edges for hypersonic vehicles with integrated thermal management Sharp and shape-stable at all stages during flight Enable performance well beyond current carboncarbon (C-C) composites Broad applicability to boost-glide and air-breathing scramjet vehicles High temperature materials + thermal management High temperature materials Year ~5 ~1mm Disruptive technology approach to hypersonic leading edges Distribution Statement A (Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited) 4

5 What MACH is NOT about Evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice e.g. Solid materials without significant added cooling Enhancements to composites composed principally of C-C e.g. Only utilizing coatings to enable higher temperature operation for C-C Approaches that rely principally on ablation as a thermal management method Shape change (e.g. recession) is not desired Techniques for enhancing heat transfer solely through solid conduction e.g. Utilizing highly conductive materials in C-C to increase emissive heat rejection Manufacturing techniques, computational development, new ways of testing, that are not focused on, and do not result in, a testable technology Distribution Statement A (Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited) 5

6 MACH Program Structure The MACH program has two technical areas: TA1: Integrated thermal management solutions (utilizing today s materials) TA2: Next-generation materials research (new thermal and materials solutions) Proposals and Awards: Separate proposals required for each TA Multiple awards anticipated for each TA Two Program Phases Phase I, 27 months: Demonstrate feasibility through subscale ground test campaign Government sponsored arcjet testing at month 24 Phase II decisions made at month 27 Phase II, 21 months: Demonstrate manufacturability and performance through ground testing and potential flight testing Distribution Statement A (Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited) 6

7 MACH Security MACH is an UNCLASSIFED program that contains CLASSIFIED elements An U//FOUO security classification guide will be made available to program awardees at kickoff It is expected that MACH performers will generate controlled unclassified information (CUI) and/or controlled technical information (CTI) as part of their research: CUI is defined as is information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls pursuant to and consistent with applicable law, regulations, and government-wide policies but is not classified under Executive Order or the Atomic Energy Act, as amended, and all CUI shall be marked and safeguarded in accordance with DoDI Volume 4 CTI is defined as technical information with military or space application that is subject to controls on its access, use, reproduction, modification, performance, display, release, disclosure, or dissemination Contractor information systems shall be subject to the security requirements in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Information Systems and Organizations NIST SP implementation guidance can be found at: Distribution Statement A (Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited) 7

8 Definition of CTI for MACH TA1 Integrated Thermal Management System Development and Demonstration All detailed design data (e.g. detailed CAD drawings, bill of materials, manufacturing workflow, performance simulations, etc.) of integrated TA1 solutions are considered CTI. All detailed performance data (e.g. thermal response, oxidation response, cooling capacity, geometric limitations, etc.) are CTI when tied to a specific operating environment (e.g. cooling rate of X at operating temperature of Y, recession rate of X when exposed to ground testing conditions Y, etc.). All leading edge integration details (joining, system resource requirements, etc.) are considered CTI when tied to a specific flight vehicle. TA2 Next-Generation Leading Edge Solutions and Technologies Material properties at temperatures above 1500 C generated from MACH. Oxidation response at temperatures above 1500 C generated from MACH. Thermal management architectures with maximum cooling rates higher than 400 W/cm 2. All detailed design data of materials, coatings, or thermal management architectures are considered CTI when tied to specific MACH program-provided geometries. All detailed performance data are CTI when tied to a specific hypersonic operating environment. Performers uncertain about whether a given dataset contains CTI should request guidance from DARPA Distribution Statement A (Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited) 8

9 What is not CTI in MACH DARPA will segregate all Government furnished information into appropriately-marked CTI and non-cti datasets. Service-specific and joint DoD planning doctrine publications that are available for download from the internet and are marked Distribution A are considered non-cti datasets. TA1 Integrated Thermal Management System Development and Demonstration Algorithms when realized in source code, executable formats, or documented in written reports. TA2 Next-Generation Leading Edge Solutions and Technologies Fundamental material properties at temperatures below 1500 C, or that already exists in public domain. Fundamental oxidation response at temperatures below 1500 C, or that already exists in public domain. Thermal management architectures with maximum cooling rates lower than 400 W/cm 2. Algorithms when realized in source code, executable formats or documented in written reports. ALL PUBLICATIONS resulting from MACH-funded R&D will have publication restrictions and must go through the formal DARPA DISTAR process for pre-publication review in accordance with the contractual requirements Distribution Statement A (Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited) 9

10 MACH overview: Future hypersonic needs: greater range and speed MACH seeks to improve hypersonic leading edge performance Shape stable, higher heat flux capable leading edges enable increased lift-to-drag (L/D), higher aerothermal loads TA1: Integrated thermal management system development and demonstration Handle higher heat loads via thermal management with current materials TA2: Next generation hypersonic materials research Develop new materials and thermal management techniques for enhanced performance beyond achievable in TA1 Sharp, high heat flux leading edges for hypersonic vehicles Distribution Statement A (Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited) 10

11 Current material architectures limit thermal performance Sharp edges (~ mm) generally required for efficient flight but are difficult to embody (Fay-Riddell, 1968): Heat flux, Q ( Velocity, V ) 3 Pressure, P Edge radius, R Carbon-carbon (C-C) is state of the art Uncoated C-C cools by ablation (~1500 W/cm2) which limits leading edge radius >1-2 cm Coated, sharp C-C edges cool by emissive cooling; Demonstrated for short flights (~2 min) A breakthrough in system level thermal management will enable leap-ahead platform performance Distribution Statement A (Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited) 11

12 Materials Architectures to cool the leading edge (a long-standing dream) Cooled leading edges have been studied since Can be effective, but rarely flown due to complexity, manufacturing difficulty Example: D. Glass, 2005 NASA Water transpiration cooling nosecone, water blanket. Niobium casing What is different now? Historical example: Boost-Glide Reentry Vehicle, 26 Feb 1968, MACH 8-18 Advancements in thermal engineering & net-shape manufacturing pave the way to >1000 W/cm2 cooling Available materials and thermal architectures to demonstrate integrated thermal solutions New emerging opportunities in materials, multiscale optimization for >1500 W/cm2 New thermal management architectures, materials & coating compositions to extend art of the possible TA1 TA2 MACH will advance new materials and architectures to meet future hypersonic performance goals Distribution Statement A (Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited) 12
