This webinar will walk through the purpose, capabilities, and use of the Hypersonic Glide Vehicle Simulator, a recently launched web application that enables quick and easy modeling of the flight performance of hypersonic missiles. In addition to covering detailed use cases for this tool, it will walk through BRSL’s broader work on the integration of technical analysis into global security analysis.
A new journal article on forecasting the implications of weapons technologies.
This webinar continues the conversation started in Prof. Jon Metzler and Prof. Andrew Reddie’s War on the Rocks article “The Double Power Law: How American Innovation Really Works,” framing U.S. innovation as emerging from systems: publicly funded basic research and venture‐backed commercialization. Jon, Andrew, and Leah will unpack how leading research universities continue to serve as critical engines for early‐stage technology discovery, forming the foundation of a decentralized venture portfolio that gives rise to frontier technologies. The speakers, in reaction to the current university funding environment, will also discuss the importance of institutional autonomy, funding breadth, and university–laboratory–industry linkages for preserving American competitiveness.
For nearly eight decades, the U.S. innovation ecosystem has been underpinned by a deliberately decentralized model of federal research support.
