Strategic Vision
In a broad sense, the basic aim of current and future systems research at ASDL is to promote United States leadership in aerospace systems. ASDL contributes to this aim by fulfilling several roles:

  • Being a leading developer of design methods suitable for the design of all types of complex systems. These complex systems can include airframe and propulsion concepts, torpedoes, missiles, ships, rotorcraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, power generators, etc.

  • Providing a point of dissemination for cutting-edge research to government, academia, and industry;
  • Being a strong advocate of those fields critical to the continued maturation of the industry, such as improved safety, reduced environmental impact, lower acquisition and operating cost, etc
  • Training the next generation of highly-qualified engineers for industry and the government
