Digital Vehicle Management & Control Advanced Tech
Abstract
This Project designs, integrates, and demonstrates Future Vertical Lift (FVL) flight control and Vehicle Management Systems (VMS) technologies. Technologies demonstrated include: advanced flight control laws and autonomy; automatic reconfiguration for speed/damage; coupled cockpit symbology and haptic cueing; and handling qualities requirements for new platform concepts. Develops and demonstrates structures technologies and mission-adaptive autonomy and control algorithms that provide level 1 handling qualities, resilience to extreme and hostile environments, damage-mitigation by reconfiguration of redundant controls, increased agility and speed with minimal fatigue, increased payload and weight efficiency, optional pilotage and manned-unmanned teaming capabilities, cognitive off-loading, and reduction of structural maintenance burden. Research in this Project is fully coordinated with Program Element (PE) 0602148A (Future Vertical Lift Technology). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this Project is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command.
