Advanced Engine Dev
Abstract
The Advanced Engine Development Program enables demonstration of advanced engine technology prototypes, like the adaptive cycle engines. Adaptive cycle engine technology enables next generation combat aircraft capabilities by combining the efficiency of high bypass turbofans used by commercial airlines with the performance demanded of military fighter engines. This technology has undergone initial development under the auspices of the Air Force Research Laboratory through the Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology (ADVENT) and Adaptive Engine Technology Demonstrator (AETD) programs. This program is maturing fuel efficient adaptive engine component technologies and reducing associated risk in preparation for next-generation propulsion system development for combat aircraft applications. The Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP) was moved out of this program element and into new program element 0604534F, Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP) in FY 2023 to comply with 2023 Appropriations Bill and accompanying Joint Explanatory Statement direction to maintain separate budget lines for the AETP and Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) efforts. This is a congressionally directed administrative realignment to provide increased transparency to Congress and is not a new start. This program element may include necessary emergent or unanticipated civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2022 $3.803 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2023 $2.305 million is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
