Reditus Prepares for First Launch of Reentry Vehicle / Hypersonic Target
The U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is evaluating ENOS, a space vehicle developed by aerospace startup Reditus, under the SHIELD contract framework as a hypersonic target and test platform.
Reditus CEO Stef Crum announced that the company is actively preparing for the first launch mission of the ENOS vehicle. ENOS is an atmospheric reentry space vehicle capable of simulating hypersonic threats, providing the realistic test conditions required by missile defense systems.
The SHIELD contract is an MDA-driven program aimed at strengthening hypersonic defense testing capabilities. It seeks reliable hypersonic target solutions to support the verification and evaluation of next-generation missile defense technologies.
Should the ENOS vehicle pass evaluation and be formally adopted, it would become a significant hypersonic test asset within the U.S. defense infrastructure, helping to accelerate the development of missile defense systems.
