Aerospace Technology Dev/Demo
Abstract
This program demonstrates advanced aerospace vehicle technologies. Advanced aerospace structures are demonstrated to sustain and enhance the capability of current and future aerospace vehicles. Aerospace vehicle technology integration is accomplished through integration of various technologies to include avionics, advanced propulsion, and weapon systems for demonstration in near-realistic operational environments. This program is in Budget Activity 3, Advanced Technology Development, since it develops and demonstrates technologies for existing aerospace vehicle system upgrades and/or new system developments that have military utility and address warfighter needs.
