Rocket Lab will launch a HASTE hypersonic test mission for the US Department of Defense's Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) in 2025 for its HyCat program, an initiative to provide the DIU with valuable hypersonic test data for future hypersonic programs. The mission will deploy a scram-jet powered vehicle by Australian company Hypersonix called DART AE on a mission from Launch Complex 2 on Wallops Island, Virginia, in 2025.
