Aerospace Technology Dev/Demo

Abstract

In FY 2015, this program has two new projects, High Speed/Hypersonic Integration and Demonstration and Flight Systems Control. These projects support Department of Defense (DoD) priorities for demonstrations in hypersonics and unmanned systems, respectively. This program integrates and demonstrates advanced flight vehicle technologies that improve the performance and supportability of existing and future aerospace vehicles. System level integration brings together aerospace vehicle technologies along with avionics, propulsion, and weapon systems for demonstration in a near- realistic operational environment. Integration and technology demonstrations reduce the risk and time required to transition technologies into operational aircraft. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Department of Defense (DoD) science and Technology (S&T) Executive Committee process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This program is in Budget activity 3, Advanced Technology Development, since it enables and demonstrates technologies for existing aerospace system upgrades and/or new and future aerospace system developments that have military utility and address warfighter needs.
