Survivability Options for Maneuver and Transport Aircraft

Abstract

This monograph summarizes research conducted by RAND Arroyo Center in support of the 2002 Army Science Board Aviation Study. The purpose of this five-month study was to help the Aviation Panel of the Army Science Board explore and assess survivability concepts and technologies associated with flexible transport aircraft that could be used to make possible new operational maneuver options for the Army's future force. The results of this research are included in the final briefing and report produced by the Army Science Board; this monograph provides a more detailed account of the specific survivability research to include information on scenario, methodology, and the quantitative analytic findings. This work should be of interest to warfighters, planners, technologists, and policy decision makers. This research was conducted as a special assistance activity within RAND Arroyo Center's Force Development and Technology Program. RAND Arroyo Center, part of the RAND Corporation, is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the United States Army.
