Overview
The Airborne Systems research area conducts focused and basic research and technology development programs in flight mechanics, guidance, navigation, control, crew systems, and operating procedures for aircraft and spacecraft. It also develops analytical methods, experimentally evaluates methods and concepts, and serves as the Research and Technology focal point for flight and piloted-simulation testing. Opportunities for research exist within areas of electronic and optical technologies for aircraft- and spacecraft-borne systems. Research is aimed at information acquisition, processing, and system integration for mission- and life-critical aerospace applications. The Airborne Systems Competency is uniquely qualified to provide integrated, multidisciplinary system solutions to complex aeronautical needs involving electromagnetic sensors or interference, reliable digital systems and formal software methods, vehicle safety, and operational procedures. Activities range from advances in computational electromagnetic interference calculations to high-intensity RF testing to the development and testing of airborne hazard detection and alerting systems. The Airborne Systems Competency assists in the formulation of flight and simulation programs to safely extract research information from flight and/or simulator experiments; develops discrete mathematical models of vehicles and their subsystems for batch and pilot in the loop simulations; and provides advocacy and consultation for a robust aviation safety and security program.
