Adv Rotarywing Veh Tech

Abstract

This project matures, demonstrates and integrates components, subsystems and systems for vertical lift and unmanned air systems 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, drive trains, robust airframe structures and integrated threat protection systems. A major effort in this project is the Joint Multi-Role (JMR) Technology Demonstrator in support of the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) family of aircraft. 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 Development Directorate of the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Joint Base Langley-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).
