Mission

The goal of the NNSA Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program (PSAAP) is to bring about validated, large-scale, multidisciplinary, simulation-based Predictive Science as a major academic and applied research program. At Caltech's Center, Predictive Science will be demonstrated by means of a concerted and highly integrated experimental, computational, and analytical effort that focuses on an overarching ASC-class problem: hypervelocity normal and oblique impact of metallic projectiles and targets, at velocities up to 10 km/s.
