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. This project includes the initiation and development of programs addressing DAF capability gaps and provides technologies for transformational future force capabilities. Transformational efforts will be identified through a competitive process and be responsive to DAF design priorities. Selected efforts will be designated as transformational, indicating enterprise-level priority.
