U.S. Army DEVCOM Aviation & Missile Center

Are you at Association of the United States Army - AUSA Global Force this week? From left, the Center's Hunter Blackwell, Sarah Parker and Director Dr. James Kirsch brief participants on current Integrated Fires Launcher Technology and Direct Support Fires Technology initiatives. We will be back in the Warrior's Corner this morning at 9:30, when Dr. Kirsch is participating on a panel about Enhancing US Army Capability through Autonomy. Come join us! #WeAreAvMC | #AUSAGlobalForce

It is a part of Redstone Arsenal history, but still plays a pivotal role in testing the next generation of missile technology.

Starting the week on a high note! Secretary of the US Army Daniel Driscoll presents the Center's Hunter Blackwell with a coin in recognition of his work at Project Convergence Capstone 5 (PC-C5), the Army's premiere modernization campaign of learning for joint and multinational partners. Way to represent, Hunter, and congratulations! #WeAreAvMC | #ProjectConvergence | #TechToProtect

We are the innovators, researchers, and the world-class scientists and engineers who are driving the discoveries and innovations critical to realizing the new capabilities for the US Army of the future. We are AvMC. #TechToProtect | #TeamBehindTheTech

Why is #CyberSecurity integral in national defense? Team member Eli Varga explains: #WeAreAvMC | #ScienceForTheSoldier

It's called ARCTIC but when it comes to testing capabilities for next-generation rotorcraft, it is hot off the presses. The Advanced Rotorcraft Configurations Test of Increased Capability simulation collects data and ratings in support of ongoing science and technology work aimed at informing evolving handling qualities requirements for Future Vertical Lift advanced configurations. Just a few accomplishments: ARCTIC has demonstrated feasibility / benefit of thrust control lever for advanced FVL configurations, impact of linked vs. unlinked controls on crew coordination -- ensuring future us Army Army aircraft will require linked controls for increased aircrew coordination and developed new high-speed terrain-flight surrogate handling qualities demonstrator maneuvers to ensure future aircraft will have the high-speed maneuverability necessary for low level flight. It also has assessed handling qualities and survivability benefits of damage tolerant control to increase future aircraft resilience to damage/failure, investigated novel response types for increased safety and cognitive offloading, quantified workload and mission effectiveness benefits of full-authority fly-by-wire and assessed ability to fly high-speed terrain flight with night vision goggles to inform future requirements. Just one way that the Center is #ServingTheSoldier. #TechThursday | #WeAreAvMC

Team member and #Veteran Wyatt Castle talks about how #Mentorship has contributed to his career success. #WeAreAvMC | #MentoringMatters

“DEVCOM Commander Maj. Gen. Cushing was very open and allowed us to shadow all his meetings. Often after the meeting, he would ask for our opinions and feedback. He also welcomed our questions. Observing our senior leaders, their discussions and how they gather information to facilitate decisions was a highlight.” Read more about three Center leaders' experiences in the U.S. Army DEVCOM Distinguished Leadership Program ?? https://lnkd.in/e4EjGC73 #WeAreAvMC | #Leadership
