AIR, GROUND AND SEA VEHICLES
Abstract
Efforts include: Surface/subsurface reduced signatures; free-surface, subsurface, and propulsor hydromechanics; hull life assurance; advanced ship concepts; distributed intelligence for automated survivability; advanced electrical power systems; air vehicles; air platforms propulsion and power; air platforms survivability and signature control; special aviation projects; Unmanned Air Vehicle/Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UAV/UCAV); environmental quality; logistics; power generation, energy conversion, and storage; and advancements in naval technology innovations. In FY 2013 the new sub activity, Advancements in Naval Technology Innovations has been included to recognize this new area of science where game changing technology is likely to be initiated. This activity also includes Secretary of Defense directed peer-review basic research to develop innovative solutions and enhance the science and engineering base. It also includes efforts initiated under the Basic Research Challenge Program. Accomplishments and plans described below are examples for each effort category. Funding increase in FY 2013 is a result of higher investment in the science of autonomy using the Basic Research Challenge Program.
