Horizon Research Group - UTSI HORIZON - the High-speed Original Research and Innovation Zone - focuses on foundational research in Welcome to the HORIZON Research Group!

We are based at the University of Tennessee Space Institute in Tullahoma, TN and are building towards national leadership in aerospace and defense research. HORIZON was founded in the fall of 2014 when Dr. John Schmisseur joined the faculty at UTSI. His goal was to conduct foundational research in aerothermodynamics and the science of ground testing through both his research on the numerical model

ing of complex flows and shock waves, and the experimental capabilities of the university. HORIZON also has a close partnership with the Arnold Engineering and Development Complex (AEDC) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) both located at Arnold Air Force Base, a few minutes from UTSI’s campus. Dr. Schmisseur’s hope is that working with AEDC and AFRL will create a culture of hypersonic research and innovation within the region that strongly impacts national technology development programs.

The Horizon Research Group was proud to sponsor and host the Hypersonic Technology Maturation & Transition Workshop at UTSI in collaboration with other university partners and Lockheed Martin.

The goal of the workshop was to establish collaborative research partnerships that will drive the accelerated transition of both new knowledge & tools and the related expert workforce into industrial application for the realization of new hypersonic systems in support of National Defense.
