Brief description Transforming Australian Hypersonics with Upgraded Optical Diagnostics. This project aims to transform the research performed in Australia’s world-class hypersonic facilities by procuring state-of-the-art optical diagnostics such as high-speed laser absorption spectroscopy systems and ultra-high-speed cameras. This will enable hypersonic flows to be studied with precision, resolution, and accuracy never before possible in Australia, yielding new and definitive data about underlying flow processes. Expected outcomes include improved designs for hypersonic vehicles such as rockets, re-entry capsules and vehicles powered by scramjet engines. This will amplify Australia’s global leadership in hypersonics research and provide upgraded infrastructure to assist Australian organisations developing hypersonic vehicles.
