Aerospace Technology Dev/Demo

Abstract

This program demonstrates advanced aerospace vehicle technologies. Advanced aerospace structures are demonstrated to 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. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Reliance 21 process to harmonize efforts and elimate duplication. 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.
