Enabling Technologies for High-speed Operable Systems (ETHOS)

Solicitation Number:

FA8650-17-S-2002

Notice Type:

Presolicitation

Synopsis:

The overall objective is to identify, develop, mature, and demonstrate technologies that enable refurbishable high speed (M>3) capability for intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance (ISR) and strike platforms by 2028, and for quick-turn fully reusable systems by 2035. The overall objective is to identify those technologies that support the critical path development of AFRL's research in the area of high speed systems. Relevant activities include basic, applied, and advanced research to develop, demonstrate, integrate, validate and transition new aerospace technologies. These technologies will enable cost effective, survivable aerospace vehicle platforms operating at Mach 3 and higher. A robust research and development effort may require the use of demonstration vehicles, ground test facilities, flight test facilities, computational studies and modeling, and/or laboratory experiments to develop, analyze, and assess aerospace vehicle system and subsystem performance.
