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 nozzleBottom Line: Designing test
facilities is just as challenging as designing hypersonic flight
vehicles
Game-Changing TechnologiesChallenges in Hypersonic T&E
• Hypersonic flight environment is difficult to replicate on the ground
• Hypersonic flows are difficult to accurately model

Game-Changing TechnologiesManaging 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

• 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
– 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

50 Years of Exponential Progress
We’ve hit the 50th anniversary of Moore’s Law
Produced in 2013Produced in 1971
2,300 transistors Built by hand Used in F-14 Tomcat
4,000X Faster5,000X Less Energy50,000X < cost/transistor
What does 50 years of exponential progress look like?
1.4 Billion transistors 5 Billion transistors built per second Annual production = 20 Million for every person on earth
17
Living in an Exponential Age
Linear Progress Exponential Progress
26 Steps
= 26 meters
26 Steps
= A walk around Earth
30 steps = Circle Earth 26XA walk across the room

What Did Exponential Increases Provide?
The first video was uploaded to YouTube
Facebook was a year old, and acquired URL “facebook.com” for $200K
An early prototype autonomous car completed DARPA Grand Challenge for the first time
The term “Drone” meant a military weapon system
Android was a small startup that Google had just acquired
Let’s look at the last2005
The iPhone was two years away from its 1st release
19
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
• Google’s autonomous cars have logged > 1M miles• Every auto manufacturer working on a version
Drones from $50 - $1,500 used by everyone from kids to Amazon
Over a billion Android users
Let’s look at
What Did Exponential Increases Provide?
Today2015
iPhone 6: 32% thinner, 5% lighter, 40% >display, 200% >resolution, 700% >RAM, 800% >storage, 340% >processor, 60% <cost w/ contract

Sensor Fusion
100 billion connected devices = trillion sensor ecosystemBy 2025 we will have 100 billion connected devices
The more connected we are, the more we depend on the net, the greater our vulnerability
Cyber
Today 2.8B of 7B+ people on earth connectedBy 2020 entire earth population will be connected
Connectivity
Massive increase in connected devices
Sensor Fusion

21
Every year we produce more computing power than the sum of all previous years – soon to become
unlimited and nearly free
Infinite Computing
By 2025 a computer costing $1K will have the equivalent processing speed of the human brain. By 2029 it will have
human level intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence
Fully intelligent machines operating with zero human control
Autonomy
Billions of dollars are being invested in full immersion AR and VR
Augmented Reality
