Integrated Vehicle and Energy Technology Subsystem Development and Demonstation Program (INVENT-SDD) Program: It is anticipated that the Integrated Vehicle and Energy Technology subsystem development and demonstration (INVENT-SDD) will be performed by the contractor working as an associate contractor with one or two INVENT platform teams. It is also anticipated that each subsystem contractor would be working under the INVENT platform Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) setting. This effort will design, develop and ground test subsystems that can be integrated as a suite of energy, power, and thermal advanced technologies based on the INVENT consensus architecture. This effort will consist of developing critical subsystems demonstrations that ameliorate the risks identified by the INVENT consensus architecture studies while leveraging key new component technologies. The three critical INVENT subsystem demonstrations identified are defined as 1. Adaptive Power & Thermal Management System (APTMS), 2. Robust Electrical Power System (REPS), and 3. High Performance Electric Actuation System (HPEAS). Integrated designs shall be developed using high fidelity modeling and simulation techniques at an air system level to validate the approach achieves the expected benefits identified by the INVENT platform IPPD led consensus architecture study. Installed benefits as well as performance oriented capabilities enhancements will be evaluated throughout the course of the program to show a solid transition path to the INVENT IPPD platform teams chosen platform. As a minimum, at least one platform shall be chosen by the INVENT platform IPPD team and flowed to the contractor as associate contractor data as the basis for their effort from the INVENT near term portfolio (subsonic LRS, UAV, or Tactical). Risk based planning will encompass ground testing through engine integration and flight test.
