Aviation Advanced Technology
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) matures and demonstrates manned and unmanned air vehicle technologies to enable Army aviation modernization. Within this PE, aviation technologies are advanced and integrated into realistic and robust demonstrations. Project 313 matures, demonstrates and integrates enabling component, subsystems and systems in the following areas: rotors, drive trains, structures and survivability. Project 436 matures, integrates and demonstrates air launched weapons systems and mission equipment packages to enable control of unmanned systems. Project 447 matures and demonstrates affordable and efficient engines. Focus areas include: engines & drive trains; rotors & vehicle management systems; platform design & structures; aircraft & occupant survivability; aircraft weapons & sensors; maintainability & sustainability; and unmanned & optionally manned systems. A major effort in this PE is the Joint Multi-Role (JMR) Technology Demonstrator. Work in this PE contributes to the Army Science and Technology (S&T) Air Systems portfolio and is related to and fully coordinated with PE 0602211A (Aviation Technology), PE 0603313A (Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology), PE 0603710A (Night Vision Advanced technology), and PE 0603270A (Electronic Warfare Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering S&T focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this PE is performed by the Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center(AMRDEC) with facilities located at Redstone Arsenal, AL; Joint Base Langley-Eustis, VA; and Moffett Field, CA.
