Air Platform Advanced Technology

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) undertakes advanced technology efforts that support and enable the overall Army Aviation portfolio in general, and the Army's modernization priority for Future Vertical Lift (FVL). Vital and enduring research into advanced technologies is conducted pertinent to the air portfolio that supports mid-to-long term requirements in contested operational environments and technologies that have broad application to FVL modernization, as well as overall Army and specific Department of Defense (DoD) aviation needs. Research in this PE contributes to the Army Science and Technology (S&T) air systems portfolio and is fully coordinated with efforts in PE 0602148A (Future Vertical Lift Technology), PE 0603465A (Future Vertical Lift Advanced Technology) and PE 0602183A (Air Platform Applied Research). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering S&T focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this PE is performed by the University Technology Development Division, Aviation and Missiles Center and Information Technology Laboratory.
