SwRI broke ground on a building where engineers will come up with faster and more efficient ways to produce hypersonic systems.
Southwest Research Institute leadership participates in a groundbreaking ceremony for a facility for future high-speed aerospace engines.Speeding up the methods for manufacturing super-fast engines is the goal of a new $34 million facility under construction at thefederal government and industry broke ground Monday on the Center for Accelerating Materials and Processes , a building where scientists and engineers will come up with faster and more efficient ways to produce hypersonic systems.
The work to make hypersonic engine systems is expensive and time-consuming, said Barron Bichon, director of the materials engineering department and CAMP project lead. But national security depends on it. Ahead of the groundbreaking, U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-San Antonio, said hypersonics is a “small sliver” of protecting the United States and its allies from adversaries around the world. “But it doesn’t just happen in a silo — it happens with the research, it happens with the dedication, and it happens with the tools,” Gonzales. “You can’t just do it in a break room.”
A materials researcher, Bichon is the brains behind CAMP, said Adam Hamilton, president and CEO of Southwest Research Institute, adding it’s an outstanding project for SwRI.
