High-Productivity Computing is Critical to National
Security
• Develop a new generation of economically viable high-productivity computing systems for
the national security and industrial user community (2009 – 2010)
Impact:
• Performance (time-to-solution): speedup critical
national security applications by a factor of 10X to 40X
• Programmability (idea-to-first-solution): reduce cost
and time of developing application solutions
• Portability (transparency): insulate research and
operational application software from system
• Robustness (reliability): apply all known techniques to
protect against outside attacks, hardware faults, &
programming errors

Oblique Flying Wing (OFW)
Program Plan:
• Develop conceptual design for
objective OFW vehicle
• Define, develop, and mature key
oblique flying wing technologies
• Conduct preliminary design of
X-Plane demonstrator in Phase I
• Design, build and fly OFW X-Plane
in Phase II
Low Speed: Unswept wing reduces
drag due to lift and provides long
range and endurance
Goals:
• Demonstrate the feasibility of a
supersonic, tailless, variable
sweep, oblique flying wing (OFW)
• Provide increased flexibility for
potential future missions requiring
rapid deployment, long range and
long endurance
Supersonic: Swept wing reduces
supersonic wave drag, improving
