Introduction to the Communications, Instrumentation, and Controls Division
Publication: Journal of Aerospace Engineering
Volume 26, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper explores the organizational history of the three core discipline areas currently residing within the Communications, Instrumentation, and Controls Division, which are harsh environment instrumentation/sensors/electronics, turbine engine controls and systems dynamics, and aerospace communications technology. Division and selected branch management will be identified by discipline in chronological order. In the second section, current division research areas will be listed by branch. Finally, future progress in the key disciplines is discussed by describing near-term future work and projecting a long-term future state beyond the horizon.
