Aerospace Power Technology
Abstract
This project develops integrated electrical and thermal management components, controls and systems for military aerospace applications. Power component technologies are developed to increase reliability, maintainability, commonality, affordability, and supportability of aircraft and flight line equipment. Research is conducted in energy storage and hybrid power system technologies to enable special purpose applications. Electrical power and thermal management technologies enable future military megawatt level power and thermal management needs. Controls and system integration technologies ensure the interoperability of aircraft, power, thermal, engine and other systems and subsystems. This project supports development of electrical power and thermal management components, controls and systems suitable for applications to legacy and future aircraft platforms including strike and mobility concepts. Lightweight power systems suitable for other aerospace applications are also developed. In FY 2021, the entirety of Project 623145, Aerospace Power Technology is transferred to PE 0602201F, Aerospace Vehicle Technologies, Project 622406, Aerospace Power & Flight Control Technology in order to realign technology areas that better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Future Operating Concept and Air Force Science and Technology Strategy, April 2019. This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
