ADV ROTARYWING VEH TECH

Abstract

This project matures and demonstrates components, subsystems and systems for rotorcraft (both manned and unmanned) that provide, improved aircraft & occupant survivability, reduced maintenance & sustainment costs, and greater performance through improved rotors, drives, vehicle management systems and platform design & structures. Systems demonstrated include rotors, drivetrains, robust airframe structures and integrated threat protection systems. A major effort in this project is the Joint Multi-Role (JMR) Aircraft Demonstrator. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering S&T focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the Aviation Applied Technology Directorate of the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Fort Eustis, VA, and the System Simulation Development Directorate, AMRDEC, Redstone Arsenal, AL. Work in this project is coordinated with Program Manager Aircraft Survivability Equipment (PM-ASE).
