Veh Prop & Struct Tech
Abstract
This Project investigates engine, drive train, and airframe enabling technologies such as multifunctional materials, fluid mechanics and high temperature, high strength, low cost shaft materials. Additional areas of research include platform, aerodynamic, transmission, and control technologies for implementation in autonomous Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and failure analysis and prediction models and techniques to support a "zero maintenance helicopter" concept. Work in this Project complements and is fully coordinated with PE 0603003A (Aviation Advanced Technology) and leverages basic research performed in PE 0601104A (University and Industry Research Centers) / Project H09 (Robotics Collaborative Technology Alliance). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.
