San Antonio-based Southwest Research Institute broke ground on a hypersonic propulsion research facility.
Local officials and Southwest Research Institute leaders broke ground Monday on a facility to study the next generation of aerospace engines that can travel faster than five times the speed of sound. The 36,600-square-foot facility — called the Center for Accelerating Materials and Processes, or CAMP — will initially focus on “demonstrating faster, more efficient techniques for manufacturing high-speed propulsion systems,” SwRI said.
Some of the CAMP’s work will support a nearly $17 million contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory. Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai, who is a SwRI advisory board member, called the project “a game changer.” The work done at SwRI, such as the CAMP project, he said, “will change the way we do things in our world, our country and especially when it deals with military defense or anything that goes into our country’s security.
