Aviation - Adv Dev
Abstract
Future Vertical Lift (FVL) is an initiative to develop a family of vertical lift aircraft for the United States Armed Forces. FVL was established by the Secretary of Defense to focus all Department of Defense (DoD) vertical lift capabilities and technology development as well as retain long-term engineering capabilities. The Deputy Secretary of Defense issued the FVL Strategic Plan to outline a joint approach for the next generation vertical lift aircraft for all military services. The Strategic Plan provided a foundation for replacing the current fleet with advanced capability by shaping the development of vertical lift aircraft for the next 25 to 40 years. In 2017, FVL was identified as one of the Army's eight Cross Functional Team Pilots, derived from the six Chief of Staff of the Army modernization priorities. The development and fielding of FVL will significantly improve vertical lift capabilities providing critical aviation support to the Joint warfighting community. Increases in maneuverability, range, speed, payload, survivability, reliability, and reduced logistical footprint can only be achieved through the FVL approach of developing new aircraft designs. FVL will integrate advancements in technologies and design configurations balanced with appropriate trades to ensure affordability.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2018 funding request was reduced by $4M due to a delay in the FVL Project B47's Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) Analysis of Alternatives. The FY 2019 funding request was increased for the Army's future vertical lift program to initiate the Capability Set One Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) competitive prototyping effort. In FY 2020 and beyond, FARA funds are requested under Project F12 Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft. The FY 2020 funding request increase ($10.300M) in PE 0603801A B47 for Future Long Range Attack Aircraft is the funding required to support the Army's opportunity to accelerate the FLRAA program schedule.
