AVIATION ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

This program element (PE) matures and demonstrates manned and unmanned rotary wing vehicle (RWV) technologies to enable Army transformation. Within this PE, aviation technologies are developed and integrated into realistic and robust demonstrations. The PE supports enabling component and subsytems for rotorcraft in the following areas: rotors, drive trains, structures and survivability (project 313), weapons integration (project 435), mission equipment packages to enable control of unmanned systems (project 436) and affordable and efficient engines (project 447). Projects BA7 and BA8 fund congressional special interest items. Work in this PE is related to and fully coordinated with PE 0602211A (Aviation Technology), PE 0603313A (Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology) and PE 0603270A (Electronic Warfare Technology). Efforts under this PE transition to programs supported by PE 0603801A (Aviation - Advanced Development), PE 0604801A (Aviation - Engineering Development), and PE 0604270A (Electronic Warfare Development). 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) with facilities located at Redstone Arsenal, AL; Fort Eustis, VA; and Moffett Field, CA.
