Complementaru Flush Air Data System for Subsonic/Transonic Bomber Operations and Weapon Platforms
AI Overview
This RFP seeks development of a complementary flush air data system (FADS) for Air Force bombers to provide redundant, low-observable airspeed and altitude measurement, reducing reliance on vulnerable protruding pitot probes. The modular, subsonic/transonic-optimized system will enhance survivability and data assurance in contested environments while maintaining existing flight-control architectures.
This summary is AI-generated from the official solicitation.
Key Details
Official Description
Targeting Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 6–7, the effort will integrate the complementary FADS within an Agile Pod or fuselage-mounted configuration, enabling non-intrusive flight validation without modification of existing primary systems. The goal is to demonstrate reliable interoperability and data fusion between FADS and the aircraft’s existing air data computers, ensuring cross-verified, all-weather flight parameters for improved survivability, redundancy, and operational assurance.
