HIFiRE Program
The Hypersonic International Flight Research Experimentation (HIFiRE) program was created jointly by DSTO and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). HIFiR was formed to investigate hypersonic flight technology, the fundamental science and technology required, and its potential for next generation aeronautical systems. This will involve up to ten flights with the University of Queensland involved in at least the first three:
- HyShot V — A free-flying hypersonic glider
- HyShot VI — A free-flying Mach 8 scramjet
- HyShot VII - Sustained Mach 8 Scramjet Powered Flight

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“Like other cities created overnight in the Outlet, Woodward acquired between noon and sunset of September 16, 1893, a population of five thousand; and that night a voluntary committee on law and order sent around the warning, “if you must shoot, shoot straight up!””
—State of Oklahoma, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
