Maturation of applied research through design, fabrication and testing for application to existing and future naval air platforms and improving ability to accurately and efficiently model and simulate flight systems.

 


Development Areas

  • Forward-thinking concepts toward shore- and sea-based air vehicles
  • Multi-disciplinary consolidation of advances in aeromechanics sciences
  • Improved performance, safety and affordability of operational systems
  • Automated/pilot-augmented guidance, navigation and control
  • Enhanced simulation-based acquisition - realization of full system capability
  • Innovative sea-based launch and recovery technologies

Applications

  • Live virtual constructive simulation-based certification processes
  • Nuclear powered aircraft carrier (CVN)-based air operations
  • Vertical takeoff and landing sea-based capabilities
  • Ship-based unmanned air vehicles
  • Ship-launched electronic warfare air vehicles
