Castelion's bi-weekly launch cadence keeps us in a disciplined cycle of testing, learning, and raising the bar. Every desert run is an opportunity to collect real data, push designs under pressure, and refine the capabilities required to support a credible deterrence mission. Some days are grueling, some are a blast, most are both. All of them demand focus, resilience, and commitment. If you want to build systems that matter, this is the place to do it.

Great to see the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering and Emil Michael's leadership in continuing and expanding the Department of War's focus on scalable hypersonics as a critical technology area. Castelion is committed to making affordable, mass produced hypersonics available to the Warfighter in a timeframe of relevance.
The pressing national security challenges of our time necessitate that the United States Department of War innovate with uncompromising speed. Proven, tangible technologies must be placed into the hands of our warfighters so they never face a fair fight. To that end, the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering is announcing its new list of Critical Technology Areas for the United States Department of War.
