Aerospace Power Technology
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates system and subsystem integration to include adaptive architectures, actuation, electrical power, thermal management, and distribution for aerospace applications. This project develops and demonstrates the components, controls and systems required to satisfy the operational needs of current and future aircraft and enables the use of future high-power payloads. This technology enhances reliability and survivability, and reduces vulnerability, weight, and life cycle costs of air platforms. The electrical power system components developed are projected to provide a two-fold to five-fold improvement in aircraft reliability and maintainability, and a reduction in power system weight. This project is integrated into energy optimized aircraft efforts and power and thermal programs. In FY 2021, the entirety of Project 633035, Aerospace Power Technology, is transferred from PE 0603216F, Aerospace Propulsion & Power Technology, Project 633035, to PE 0603033F, Next Gen Platform Dev/Demo, Project 633035, Aerospace Power Technology as part of the Air Force RDT&E BA 03 PE consolidation in order to realign technology areas to better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Future Operating Concept and Air Force Science and Technology Strategy, April 2019. The Project and associated efforts will continue to be executed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Technology Directorate located in Wright Patterson AFB, OH. This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
