Game-Changing Technologies
Challenges in Hypersonic T&E
• Hypersonic flight
environment is
difficult to replicate on
the ground
• Hypersonic flows are
difficult to accurately
model
Scramjet Test
at NASA Langley
Material Development Challenges
•
•
•
Extreme heat requiring Thermal
Protection System (TPS), shell made of
advanced materials
TPS materials tested in Arc Jet Heaters
up to 180 atmospheres & 13,000 degR
Arc jets achieve these extreme
temperatures by flowing high pressure
air over an electric arc and through a
supersonic nozzle
Bottom Line: Designing test
facilities is just as challenging as
designing hypersonic flight
vehicles
Arc Jet Heater
Hypersonic Vehicle in Flight

Game-Changing Technologies
Managing T&E of Autonomous Systems
We Must Transform T&E Culture
We Must Develop Accepted
• Cross-domain standards, metrics, and test methodologies
• Human-Robot-Robot interactions
• Multiple interacting domains
(Air, Land, Sea, Undersea) ranges
Georgia Tech Research Institute Study
To assess and develop an approach to gaps and
required investments in T&E infrastructure for
autonomous systems

National Cyber Range (NCR)
•
Computing Assets/Facility
•
Encapsulation Architecture & Operational Procedures
• Provides the ability to rapidly design, deploy and sanitize large
scale, high fidelity test and training environments
– Extremely malicious threats can be unleashed on operationally, representative
systems and networks to assess the impact on the network, networked weapon
systems, the associated mission
• Significant technological advancements incorporated into
integrated tool suite
– Highlighted by the significant level of automation
– Ability to support up to four concurrent events, executed in completely
isolated testbeds, at different levels of classification
• Automated sanitization capability
•
Integrated SW Testing Toolsuite
– Expunges all malicious code from every component used within the event
and returns it to a pristine state ready for reuse
– Sanitizes not only storage but also servers (including non-volatile RAM)
and network equipment
• Time saving
– In many cases, what previously took weeks or months has been reduced to
hours or days
– Allowing users the ability to rapidly plan, execute, and analyze their test or
training initiatives
• NCR also provides SME
– Available, at the discretion of the user, to support the planning, execution and
analysis of test and training events
• NCR is able to collaborate with other cyber ranges using secure
networks
– When test events require special capabilities or additional scale

A Look at What Drives
Impacts to the T&E Infrastructure
Why We Need Technology Enhancements
15
50 Years of Exponential Progress
We’ve hit the 50th anniversary of Moore’s Law
What does 50 years of exponential progress look like?
Produced in 1971
Produced in 2013
4,000X Faster
5,000X Less Energy
50,000X < cost/transistor
 2,300 transistors
 Built by hand
 Used in F-14 Tomcat
 1.4 Billion transistors
 5 Billion transistors built per second
 Annual production = 20 Million for every person on earth
16
Living in an Exponential Age
Linear Progress
Exponential Progress
26 Steps
26 Steps
= 26 meters
= A walk around Earth
A walk across the room
30 steps = Circle Earth 26X
17
What Did Exponential Increases Provide?
2005
Let’s look at the last
The iPhone was two years away from its 1st release
The first video was uploaded to YouTube
Facebook was a year old, and acquired URL “facebook.com” for $200K
Android was a small startup that Google had just acquired
The term “Drone” meant a military weapon system
An early prototype autonomous car completed DARPA Grand Challenge
for the first time
18
What Did Exponential Increases Provide?
2015
Let’s look at
iPhone 6: 32% thinner, 5% lighter, 40% >display, 200% >resolution,
700% >RAM, 800% >storage, 340% >processor, 60% <cost w/ contract
Billion users, 300 hours of video uploaded an hour
1.4 billion users from every country on earth share 2.5 million
pieces of content every minute
Over a billion Android users
Drones from $50 - $1,500 used by everyone from kids to Amazon
• Google’s autonomous cars have logged > 1M miles
• Every auto manufacturer working on a version
19
Technologies & Trends
Leaning into the Future
Massive increase in
connected devices
By 2025 we will have 100 billion connected devices
100 billion connected devices =
trillion sensor ecosystem
Today 2.8B of 7B+ people on earth connected
By 2020 entire earth population will be connected
The more connected we are, the more we depend
20
on the net, the greater our vulnerability 20 20
Technologies & Trends
Leaning into the Future
Every year we produce more computing power than
the sum of all previous years – soon to become
unlimited and nearly free
Fully intelligent machines operating with
zero human control
Billions of dollars are being invested in
full immersion AR and VR
By 2025 a computer costing $1K will have the equivalent
processing speed of the human brain. By 2029 it will have
human level intelligence.
