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. The Department of Defense (DOD) established FVL to focus vertical lift capabilities and technology development as well as retain long-term industrial base capabilities. The Deputy Secretary of Defense issued the FVL Strategic Plan in 2012 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 Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, the Army identified FVL as one of the Army's six modernization priorities, and established the FVL Cross Functional Team. The FVL objectives are increased vertical lift maneuverability, range, speed, payload, survivability, and reliability while reducing the logistical footprint. This capability will provide critical aviation support to the joint warfighter and maneuver force. FVL will integrate advanced technologies and design configurations with appropriate trades to ensure affordability.

- Change Summary Explanation
- FY 2019, Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) Capability Set Three increased by $7.628 million (Below Threshold Reprogramming) for additional staffing in acquisition, engineering, logistics, and business functionals to support development of Program of Record strategy, acquisition documentation, Contracts Requirements Package (CRP), and Competitive Demonstration Risk Reduction efforts. The Army's Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) Capability Set One competitive prototyping effort was initiated in FY 2019 with a Congressional Add on Project B47 Future Vertical Lift. In FY 2020, FARA funds are requested under Project F12 Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft. FLRAA FY 2020 budget increased by $75.6 million for Competitive Demonstration Risk Reduction efforts and $5 million for university partnership efforts. FARA FY 2020 budget decreased by $34.0 million to align with current Competitive Prototyping efforts. FLRAA budget increase of $5 million for university partnership efforts is aligned incorrectly to Project F12 Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft. This funding will be correctly re-aligned to Project B47 Future Vertical Lift for execution. FLRAA FY 2021 budget increased by $112.369 million for continued execution of Competitive Demonstration Risk Reduction efforts, development of the Contract Requirements Package, and initiation of the Source Selection Evaluation Board and the FARA FY 2021 budget decreased by $0.499 million.
