Kratos Defense & Security Solutions presented internal funds to develop a hypersonic drone able to crossing Mach 5. Kratos is best known for its unmanned vehicle from the XQ-58 Valkyrie combat air. It is an inexpensive and talented drone.
The recent unnamed drone will probably be a part of the Kratos Furies family. Kratos is developing, Erinyes and Dark Fury, which should not in -wound vehicles for reinforcement, intended for a rocket -assisted start. In January, Kratos received a five -year contract related to the Mach with a worth of as much as $ 1.45 billion if all options are made. Kratos mentions the breathable drive. They can cooperate with the Australian company Hypersonix Launch Systems. The concept of DART AE Hypersonix is based on the scramjet powered hydrogen. Dart AE still needs a rocket amplifier for initial acceleration.

The US and DARPA Department of Defense increase the efforts and financing of more hypersonic systems.
The recent startups Venus Aerospace and Hermeus are making significant progress in hypersonic drones, that are on the road to manned hypersonic aircraft.
Next Generation Next Generation Responsive Strike (next RS) and other programs, reminiscent of Mayhem, are aimed toward producing multiple systems of fast strikes and intelligence, supervision and recognition (ISR) over the subsequent five years. Kratos was replaced in 2022 as a part of a team led by Leidos after Mayhem, which is to supply a hypersonic breathable air platform.
In 2024, Kratos Erinyes made a successful hypersonic flight to the experiment of the Rocket Defense Agency, over Mach 5. Erinyes reportedly cost lower than $ 15 million for development in three years.
Kratos is publicly rotating and has a market capitalization of nearly $ 5 billion. They have quarterly revenues of just about USD 300 million and about USD 4 million quarterly net income.
