Air Platform Enabling University Adv Development
Abstract
This Project focuses on experimentation and demonstration of advanced technologies originating from extramural applied research in academia pertaining to navigation/routing, autonomous robotic vehicles, artificial intelligence and machine learning as applied to aerial mobility and maneuver, holistic survivability, teaming, integrated mission systems, air-launched effects, and other innovative air enabling applied research technologies, that will accelerate the Army modernization in next generation aerial vehicles. This Project will mature and integrate advanced efforts to focus more on mid to far-term Army modernization priorities while also maintaining delivery of near-term technologies fundamental to the modernization priorities. This effort conducts and demonstrates advanced technology efforts arising from academic research in all areas of strategic importance to Army Aviation in AI/ML, autonomous systems, Advanced Teaming, Survivability, air-launched effects/payloads, coordinated air-ground maneuvering, etc., by bringing competitively selected Universities with research and development teams into Technical Alliances. The project will continuously experiment with methods to identify, demonstrate and transition novel technology from entities that might not otherwise collaborate with the DoD, with the end goal of accelerating the adoption of cutting-edge applied research technology for the warfighter in the Army aviation portfolio. Work in this Project supports the Army Modernization Priority Future Vertical Lift and the overall aviation portfolio. The cited work is consistent with Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command. This work is done in coordination with and transitions to PE 0603465A (Future Vertical Lift Advanced Technology Development) and PE 0603119A (Ground Advanced Technology), and is also coordinated with its sister project in PE 0602148A (Future Vertical Lift Technology) and PE 0602183A (Air Platform Applied Research).
