Aerospace Power & Flight Control Integ & Demo
Abstract
This program integrates and demonstrates advanced control technologies that improve the performance, reliability, safety, and survivability of existing and future, manned and unmanned, aerospace systems. Enhanced capabilities are enabled by control, automation, and system level integration of subsystems and systems such as propulsion, airframes, avionics, power & thermal management, weapons, communications, and operator interfaces. Modeling and simulation, integration, and technology demonstrations in a near-operational environment reduce the risk and time required to transition technologies into existing and future aerospace systems. In FY 2021, Project 634927, Flight Systems Control Non-Vanguard efforts and activities will be transferred from PE 0603211F, Aerospace Technology Dev/Demo, to PE 0603033F, Next Gen Platform Dev/Demo. Skyborg Vanguard activities under this Project will be consolidated and transferred in FY 2021 from PE 0603211F, Aerospace Technology Dev/Demo, to PE 0603032F, Future AF Integrated Technology Demos, Project 630320, Air Force Vanguards. These transfers are 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 S&T Strategy, April 2019. The Project and associated Non-Vanguard efforts and activities will continue to be executed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Technology Directorate located in Wright Patterson Air Force Base, OH. This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
