Vertical Lift Research Center Of Excellence

Abstract

This project fosters research to provide vertical lift capability and engineering expertise for the Army. The focus of the Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence (VLRCOE) is to couple state-of-the-art research programs with broad-based graduate education programs at academic institutions with the goal of increasing the supply of scientists and engineers who can contribute to Army Transformation. Work will provide research into technologies that can improve tactical mobility, reduce the logistics footprint, and increase survivability for rotary wing vehicles. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed extramurally by the Aeroflightdynamics Directorate of the Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) (located at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA).
