Navigation Summary
We do not have performance issues, we have SWAP-C issues.
The need to address the A2AD environment is real and not going away.
The replacement for GPS will include more-robust GPS.
There is not likely to be a single, one-size-fits-all replacement for GPS.
We are developing / investing in multiple technologies that will help

mitigate the A2AD environment.

Basic Tenets
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. -- Albert Einstein
Cyber is more than Information Assurance, its about Mission Assurance

Defend the weapon system capability to ensure resiliency in a cyber-
contested environment
Develop the science to translate cyber effects into mission impacts
Must quantify cyber risk at the system level
Presented in context with Performance Risk
Cyber Risk f (Vulnerability, Threat, Impact)
Must consider the warfighter (training, TTPs, etc.)

Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) is a key enabler to trusted
systems and provides a broad requirements base

information assurance on enterprise networks)

RDECOM and our Industry Partners

Observations
We must consider Cyber when developing Weapon Systems

We can no longer assume integrity of information
We must reassess critical functions and dependencies
The key: Treat cyber threats as a Countermeasure

Then extrapolate Cyber Effects into Mission Impacts

aiding seeker design, and to increase communication bandwidth for sharing and distributing data
Electro-Optical and Infrared Imaging

1. Improved optics for small pixel focal plane technology (cooled & uncooled)
a) With the advancement of small pixel technology, optics have become the limit in seeker and sensor
image quality and performance
2. Improved non-uniformity correction techniques for uncooled infrared detectors
a) Uncooled infrared is inherently uniform after a steady state temperature operation is achieved, which
takes several minutes (as much as 10 minutes). Missiles must fire within seconds.

Summary
Sustainment technology roadmap addresses FVL needs associated with RAM &
Sustainment, however:
Current funding will not mature all identified technologies by 2023
Key Efforts in place:
ASTRO - provides bridge from current fleet capability to FVL needs
Multi-functional Sensors, CPAS, FERST, FIIN transition to embedded and integrated
networked system for prognostics/predictive health management
Ultra-Reliable Design, XLADD - address needed change in concept & preliminary design
paradigm
Future Aviation Sustainment & Maintenance Strategies lay foundation for doctrinal and
cultural changes
Enabling supporting efforts
Additive Manufacturing potential to design & build at the micro-scale for desirable properties
and conduct custom repairs at lesser log footprint
Digital Thread - Address need for systemic improvements and system life management &
tracking at the component & tail number level
Technology development efforts are required to supplement the Enterprise portfolio
to sufficiently address the needs of FVL and beyond:
Data Management: Large data optimization, data transfer/distribution, & analyses
Maturity and qualification of Sensor Fusion and Risk-based Uncertainty algorithm
Lower cost and reduced time to certify and qualify processes (e.g. Qualify by Analysis)

Mitigation (DVE-M) Industry Day
Program
29 March, 2017 Presented by:
Mr. Layne Merritt
Chief Engineer
US Army Aviation and Missile, Research,
. Development and Engineering Center
Executive Summary
DVE Mitigation is a disruptive capability improvement that will allow
helicopter operators to maintain tactical advantage on the battlefield, much
like the use of Night Vision technology has over the past decades
Currently, as flight visibility degrades (Degraded Visual Environment), aviation

operations become more dangerous and less effective often even impossible or
deadly
The goal is to convert DVE into a combat multiplier through advanced

technologies that enable commanders to conduct operations deliberately in DVE
and with confidence that their crews and customers will be able to safely and
efficiently complete all missions
There are three key technology components required in any comprehensive

DVE solution: Modernized Flight Control, Integrated Cueing, and Multi-Spectral
Sensing joined together by a base architecture; All three components must be
addressed to fully mitigate DVE operations.
The 2016 Yuma Flight Trials and the 2017 European Flight Trials demonstrated
all three components in operationally relevant environments and set the
conditions for the DVE-M program moving forward

maintained as comprehensively

Flight Trials Objectives
1. Demonstrate the state-of-the-art for an integrated flight control,

sensor, and cueing systems in an operational environment (brownout
at Yuma, snow, rain, fog in Europe).
2. Collect qualitative and quantitative data to assist in determining
which elements within the DVE trade-space have the greatest
effect on operator performance in DVE (reduced workload,
improved handling qualities, improved performance).
3. Record time-synchronized raw data (EGI, RADAR, LIDAR, LWIR, Day
TV and Uncooled IR) to provide a data set to support future
science and technology efforts, including analysis, simulation, and
evaluating other fusion algorithms.
4. Identify technology shortfalls or deficiencies that support
development of independent vendor-developed technology that may
contribute to the improvement of a rotorcraft DVE solution.

Overview
The Next Generation (NexGen) Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System

(TUAS) Technology Demonstration program (NG TUAS TD) is a
Science and Technology (S&T) effort supporting the development of a
Future TUAS (FTUAS) for a PEO-Aviation Program of Record
The S&T focus is to mature and demonstrate air vehicle technologies

that overcome key barriers preventing desired FTUAS performance
This enables challenging yet achievable requirements to be defined,
and an industry poised to meet the requirements

Why FTUAS?
UAVs already outnumber the manned fleet and will continue to grow, including
expanded mission sets
FTUAS will need to succeed in a near-peer threat environment on the multi-

domain battlefield in concert with Future Vertical Lift (FVL) and joint forces
Incremental improvement to current UAS is not sufficient to achieve overmatch

in the current and future operational environment
Army Aviation Must Remain Decisive in Land Warfare

FTUAS Characteristics
Key Attributes of FUAS:

Reach
Protection
Lethality
The FTUAS is expected to have the following capabilities:

Expeditionary GPS/Cyber-denied operations
Runway Independent Degraded weather
Maritime Capable environments
TheFTUAS
Speed/Range
will be aParity with FVL
multi-role platform. Expected missions include:
