<strong>known as NRSD-1 or &#8220;Who&#8217;s Afraid of Lil Ol&#8217; Me,&#8221;<\/strong> was conducted about 30 miles south of the Mississippi coast.\nThis breakthrough represents a major step toward more frequent test campaigns needed for emerging technologies in the hypersonic arena.\nThe mission was accomplished in an astonishingly short time frame: less than seven months from conceptual to operational status.  <\/p>\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/embed\/feed\/update\/urn:li:ugcPost:7236720381997318145?compact=1\" height=\"399\" width=\"710\"
