Research and Evaluation of Emerging Weapon System Technologies

Abstract

The Research, Development and Engineering Center (RDEC), U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) has the mission and function for investigating emerging technologies for weapon systems that should have positive impacts on the producibility, operations and support of future aviation and missile designs. During FY99 the RDEC is focusing on technology areas of Electronic. Photonic, Electro-Optical and Electro-Magnetic Materials; Muiltispectral Sensors Modeling and Simulation; and Applications of Nanotechnology to Tactical Missile Systems. The Systems Engineering and Production Directorate, RDEC, AMCOM has the mission and function of evaluating new technologies and determining the impacts of same on the producibility and supportability of AMCOM missile systems. The systems Management and Production Laboratory at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Research Institute (RI) was tasked to provide this engineering support and analytical capability.
