On Jan. 8, 2024, the Department of Defense Cornerstone Consortium under the DOD Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment program and the National Imperative for Industrial Skills initiative awarded The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) a contract to develop a sustainable, targeted, workforce training program on the science and engineering of materials for hypersonic applications.
ACerS has partnered with the United States Advanced Ceramics Association (USACA) to create a comprehensive hypersonic materials training program. The goal of this program is to target those working in industry, national labs, DOD agencies, and others working in the field who may be outside the reach of academic programs.
