Hypersonic systems operate within one of the most demanding engineering tegimes, where extreme speeds introduce significant aerodynamic, thermal, and control challenges. This workshop presents a concise overview of the fundamental principles underlying hypersonic flight, guidance, and control, and autonomous sensing systems. Drawing from real-world applications, Dr. Anton Sumali will discuss key challenges in designing systems capable fo rapid sensing, adaptation, and decision-making in highly dynamic environments. This session provides attendees with a high-level perspective on how theoretical concepts translate into practical solutions for modern aerospace and autonomous systems.
