This is where NASA and Argonne come in. They have designed an AI that can use a scramjet’s CFD (computational fluid dynamics) testing results (this is how a computer models air flowing around or through an object) and use it to figure out how to optimize the design of a scramjet missle for high speeds and greater efficiency. This has already been shown to create brilliantly efficient and powerful designs in far less time than previous methods and could even produce novel new designs.

In other words, this AI could design a hypersonic missile that is far faster and with greater range than any other in the world, sending the US to the forefront of this military arms race. All they need to do is apply this incredible AI to the HAWC, load it up with explosives, and off they go.
