Aerospace Technology Dev/Demo
Abstract
This program supports Department of Defense (DoD) priorities for demonstrations in hypersonics and manned/unmanned systems, respectively. This effort 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. Projects in this program have been coordinated through the DoD Science and Technology (S&T) Executive Committee process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. The Department of the Air Force technologies in this program are both enabling and enduring as we invest in maturing emerging technologies that address established mission gaps, and transformational technologies that address integrated enterprise capabilities intended to reshape the future force across air, space, and cyber warfighting domains. Development of transformational operational capabilities through advanced technology solutions focuses on five strategic capabilities: Global Persistent Awareness; Resilient Information Sharing; Rapid, Effective Decision-Making; Complexity, Unpredictability, and Mass; and Speed and Reach of Disruption and Lethality. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver science & technology capabilities. The use of program funds in this PE would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0601102F, 0602102F, 0602201F, 0602203F, 0602204F, 0602602F, 0602605F, 0602788F, 1206601SF, and 0602298F. In FY 2022, the seismic technologies efforts of PE 1206616SF, Space Advanced Technology Development/Demo, were transferred to Appropriation 3600, Research, Development, Test & Evaluation, Air Force, PE 0603211F, Aerospace Technology Dev/Demo, Project 634928, Space and Missile Propulsion & Systems, from Appropriation 3620, Budget Activity (BA) 03 due to the creation of a new Appropriation for Space Force. This program is in Budget Activity 3, Advanced Technology Development because this budget activity includes development of subsystems and components and efforts to integrate subsystems and components into system prototypes for field experiments and/or tests in a simulated environment.
