AVIATION TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

This aviation technology program element (PE) conducts applied research applicable to rotary wing vehicle (RWV) technologies to move towards air vehicle objectives. Emphasis is on developing rotary wing platform technologies to enhance manned and unmanned RWV combat and combat support operations for attack, reconnaissance, air assault, survivability, logistics and command and control missions. The PE supports the research and development of components and subsystems for air vehicles in the areas of aviation and aircraft weapons technology (project 47A) and vehicle propulsion and structures technology (project 47B). This PE also supports the National Rotorcraft Technology Center (NRTC), a partnership of government, industry, and academia. Project 47C funds congressional special interest items. Efforts under this PE transition to projects supported by PE 0603003A (Aviation-Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this PE is performed by the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), located at Redstone Arsenal, AL; Fort Eustis, VA; Moffett Field, CA; and Hampton, VA, and at the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), located at Adelphi, MD; Hampton, VA; and Cleveland, OH.
