The S/MTD program has generated flight test data to validate four specific technologies: 2-D thrust vectoring & reversing nozzle; integrated flight/propulsion control; advanced pilot/vehicle interface including autonomous landing guidance; and rough field/high sink rate landing gear. These technologies have been integrated into an F-15B to provide mission benefits across the complete flight envelope from on-board guidance to a bad weather short landing, through significantly enhanced maneuvering benefits to supersonic performance. These technologies are either transitioning on to other aircraft, or can be considered viable design options for future aircraft.
