FY24 JAS PROGRAM REVIEW
The Joint Aircraft Survivability (JAS) Program Office will host the 2024 JAS Program Review (JPR) at the GTRI Conference Center on 24-26 September 2024. The purpose of the review is to facilitate aviation survivability dialogue between the science and technology, acquisition, industry, academic, and operational communities. This will be achieved by presenting a technical overview of the program and fiscal year 2024 (FY24) projects and informing the aviation community of the work involved.
