Future Vertical Lift (Maritime Strike)

Abstract

The Future Vertical Lift (Maritime Strike)(FVL (MS)) project directs developmental activities in support of the replacement of the current inventory of Navy helicopters in the 2030+ timeframe. Specific development activities required for FVL (MS) may include: capability requirements definition, documentation, and validation; Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) planning and execution including AoA Study Guidance and Study Plan preparation); completion of affordability studies; establishment of the appropriate security environment (e.g. computers, facilities, and administration); production of an Acquisition Strategy (AS), Life Cycle Cost Estimate (LCCE), Life Cycle Sustainment Plan (LCSP), Systems Engineering Plan (SEP), and Draft Capability Development Document (CDD); Request for Proposal (RFP) development: acquisition documentation; risk reduction initiatives; design trade studies; and support to joint FVL, including open hardware and software reference and objective architectures definition, mission system interoperability, and shipboard compatibility. Follow-on activities support preparation and execution of efforts to develop common systems reference and objective open architectures, and eventual prototype aircraft flight demonstrations in support of the FVL Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) acquisition phase. Activities and technologies developed also have the potential to be leveraged for sustainment of legacy Navy helicopters. These efforts will enable timely development of a system that provides best value and capability to the Joint Warfighter while maintaining effective and efficient war fighting capability in support of the Navy's 30 year Aviation Plan. FY 2024 budget funds the FVL (MS) post-AoA follow-on activities to include analyses, studies and development of acquisition documentation. Tasks to be performed may include post-AoA support, acquisition program management functions, engineering modeling and analysis, conceptual design trade studies, and other related follow on activities.
