Abstract	The NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) reorganized its research programs in FY15 along 6 strategic thrusts for aeronautics research. The re-aligned programs and projects resulted in significantly reduced research in the area of controls technology for aeronautics (aero controls). The Controls area Branch Chiefs from the 4 NASA Aero Centers – Carey Buttrill and Mike Fremaux from Langley Research Center (LaRC), Sanjay Garg from Glenn Research Center (GRC), Steve Jacobson from Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) and Kalmanje Krishnakumar from Ames Research Center (ARC) formed the Aero-Controls Branch Chief Working Group (ACBCWG) to develop a strategy for advocating greater investment in aero controls under the ARMD program/projects. The ACBCWG decided to hold aero controls workshops at the 4 NASA Aero Centers to get input from the researchers in controls technology challenges to meet the goals of the aeronautics research strategic thrusts. This presentation provides an overview of the reorganized NASA ARMD programs, how these lack investments in aero controls technologies, and what ACBCWG is doing to help build advocacy for aero controls research.
