Kratos Defense & Security Solutions has selected Rocket Lab USA to join a team that is testing hypersonic flights for the federal government.

The Long Beach, Calif.-based Rocket Lab said Tuesday that the team has been awarded a five-year contract, which carries a potential value of $1.45 billion, to create an affordable flight test bed that could rapidly increase hypersonic flight test capacity.

The program is intended to provide an affordable bridge between hypersonic ground tests and system level flight tests, according to Kratos.

Rocket Lab said it has already delivered multiple successful hypersonic test launches to the program with its Hypersonic Accelerator Suborbital Test Electron rocket.

Brian Rogers, the company's vice president of global launch services, said the company is thrilled to be part of the program's next iteration.
