Adapt & Resilnt Tact Autnmy Cont & Struct Adv Tech

Abstract

This Project matures, and demonstrates advanced autonomy, controls, and structures technologies that provide manned/unmanned Future Vertical Lift (FVL) platforms the decisive tactical overmatch of near-peer adversaries needed for combat mission success. Matures and demonstrates modeling capabilities, control law development, and handling quality criteria required for fully realizing capabilities of advanced configurations of Army aircraft. Develops and demonstrates structures technologies and mission-adaptive autonomy (MAA) 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. Work in this Project is fully coordinated with Program Element (PE) 0602148A (Future Vertical Lift Advanced Technology Development). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command.
