Rotorcraft Capability Assessment and Tradeoff Environment
Research ObjectiveDevelop a capability assessment and trade-off process to:
• Assess system-level impact of rotorcraft concepts with changes to mission requirements, design parameters, and technology insertion
• Recommend portfolios based on multiple objectives• Understand the relationship between technology
attributes and system capability gaps
Challenges• Maintaining a flexible and extensible process that can
accommodate changing concepts and technologies• Modeling fleet operations and support with reliability,
maintainability, and supportability related technologies• Tracking and controlling uncertainty propagation through
the design process
ARL Facilities and Capabilities Available to Support Collaborative ResearchAccess to: High Performance Computing facilities, multifidelity rotorcraft conceptual design tools, and rotorcraft technology subject matter experts (SMEs)
Status• Interactive visual trade-off environment created• Small set of technologies translated into model inputs
using calibration factors from literature and SMEs• Approach and tool verified; validation path forward• Technology portfolios recommended to user based on
min/max objectives
Complementary Expertise, Facilities, and Capabilities Sought in Collaboration• Development of interactive, web-based applications• Application of statistical techniques to quantify technology
impacts based on empirical data• Multiple stakeholder interactions and value negotiation• Incorporation of higher fidelity modeling and simulation into
rotorcraft conceptual design and capability trades• Reliability analysis of rotorcraft propulsion and mission
systems linked to conceptual design process and tools• Advanced technology modeling & representation techniques
