Hypersonic Vehicles DOTMLPFI Technology with significant doctrine shifting benefits Autonomous Ops DOTMLPFI UxVs support a variety of different military and civilian capabilities and need a multidisciplinary approach Graphene Technologies DOTMLPFI Applications for land, sea and air platforms to improve Survivability & Performance Adaptive / Variable-Cycle Engines DOTMLPFI Longer range and subsonic loiter as well as higher thrust Electric / Hybrid Propulsion Systems DOTMLPFI Signature reduction and increased platform endurance Future Vertical Lift DOTMLPFI Support Military Capability Development by Technology Advisory for Military Decision Makers and progress the Integration of multidisciplinary Approaches Integration of software-based Applications DOTMLPFI Addressing platform-related Application Opportunities and Cyber Challenges 3

4 AVT continuously reviews its Programme of Work regarding the compliance with the (revised) NATO S&T Strategy. 3 Goals Deliver On-Time, On-Target Advice Accelerate Capability Development Build Capacity through Partnerships 5 Courses of Actions Stay at the Forefront Forge and Nurture Effective Partnerships Promote Prototyping and Technology Demonstrations 4 Areas of Work Enhance the NATO S&T Network of Experts Enhance Alliance Decision-Making Focus on Alliance Needs, Boosting S&T Impact in the NDPP Improve the S&T Programmes of Work Invest in Strategic Communication Promote NATO S&T Coherence 4

5 FLIR Systems US Navy The Alliance s air superiority heavily depends on the survivability of their air assets and their combat efficiency. A robust and credible air and space force that can establish an umbrella of air superiority over any land or maritime battlespace enables freedom of action for our land, maritime and special operations forces. Air power is the cornerstone of effective deterrence. General Tod. D. Wolters (Commander NATO AIRCOM & USAFE- AFAFRICA ) S & C Thermofluids Ltd Nations demand: To increase threat warning abilities and to enhance countermeasures To strengthen the development of robust survivability techniques To reduce costly physical trials within development processes 5

6 Collaborative improving of IR-Signature Modelling will add significant value to air superiority capability development. Collaborative efforts of AVT-232: Code and measurement comparisons Four national physical test cases and field trials Coordination of efforts with SET Panel Coordination of efforts with NAFAG Analysis of signature data signature management Threat warning Improved techniques Robust methods to transform data Demonstrate trust in our models to our customer through international peer review Significant cost saving effects by data sharing Revision of own related models and modelling Change of uncertainty propagation in signature prediction Gained valuable knowledge & procedure enhancement Helped to improve national tools & procedures Accelerate Capability Development Focus on Alliance Needs, Boosting S&T Impact in the NDPP Enhance the NATO S&T Network of Experts 6

7 NATO AVT supports national development and acquisition by providing tools for a better understanding of the requirements trade space. Different Models Different Databases Inconsistent Results Unified Tactical Missile Kinetic Performance Model (AVT-236) Consistency by a single tool alongside the planning process Interoperability in defense planning studies Enhances collaboration by eliminating barriers Transfer expertise in a Technical Course in DEU & USA in 2019 Accelerate Capability Development Enhance Alliance Decision-Making Promote NATO S&T Coherence 7

8 The AVT community aims to utilize the NATO STO Support Programme to maximize benefits for the Nations. The defence technology gap between Allies must remain small enough to be bridged by interoperability. 2 nd Key Objective NATO Science & Technology Committee AVT s biannual conferences (about 40 nations & 600 participants) Study on application of light weight materials for ballistic protection Evaluation of in-vehicle vibrations and their effect on vehicle structures and personnel health and performance Development and evaluation of an advanced PACVD TiN/TiCN coating for military vehicle bearing applications Turbulence and the aerodynamic optimisation of nonplanar lifting systems AVT s Support Committee (currently chaired by Slovak Republic) Investigation of sub-idle gas turbine performance Build Capacity through Partnerships Forge and Nurture Effective Partnerships Enhance the NATO S&T Network of Experts 8

9 AVT successfully supports the process from research to NATO Standardization using technology demonstrations (1/3). Research (AVT-248) Demonstration (AVT-308) NATO Standard (AVT-327) Cooperative Demonstration of Technology (CDT) for Next-Generation NATO Reference Mobility Model (NG-NRMM) Hougthon, USA, Sep 2018 Accelerate Capability Development Promote Prototyping and Technology Demonstrations Improve the S&T Programmes of Work 9

12 Raython MSIAC Enhanced affordability and safety of national assets will sustain NATO s ability to counter future threats. Costs and Impacts from not knowing individual munition status Reduced National ammunition stockpiles increase unit price In-Service Surveillance by Munition Health Management Technologies allows To estimate Safe Remaining Life of munitions To compute depreciation of stockpiles based on actual consumption To use performance based acquisition 12

13 AVT strives to improve NATO s future assets by displaying state-of-the-art technologies to national decision makers.
