The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) was asked to identify what high-temperature test facilities exist for testing hypersonics capabilities. A list of facilities was compiled in tandem with examples of high-temperature testing and research being done across government, academia, and industry. Research varied from testing materials to mechanical testing and thermal protection systems. Facilities and organizations performing high-temperature mechanical testing for fracture toughness, hardness, modulus, strength, and creep resistance were also relevant to the search.
High-Temperature Hypersonics Testing Capabilities

Successful AEDC arc heater testing is a significant step toward filling the hypersonics capability gap (source: https://www.arnold.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/409760/successful-aedc-arc-heater-test-is-significant-step-toward-filling-hypersonic-c/).
