- Description
- The purpose of this RFI is to solicit industry capabilities and interest in addressing potential sensor solutions identified by the AFRL-led ?Rotary Wing Brownout Integrated Solution Study.? The study has applied system engineering processes to define requirements and to identify technology alternatives. The following core brownout operational tasks have been defined: maintain geospatial awareness of the intended landing point; confirm that the landing zone is suitable for landing (clear of major obstacles/hazards) and refine the intended landing point; confirm that the landing surface has acceptable slope and is clear of surface hazards that might damage the aircraft; maintain awareness of any surrounding obstacles, terrain or other aircraft that pose an immediate hazard during landing and takeoff; and safely and consistently maneuver the aircraft through the transition from cruise flight to hover/landing at the desired location.
