The Future of Naval Vertical Lift Systems: Departing the Pattern of Joint Acquisition Syndrome

Abstract

The Future of Vertical Lift (FVL) is the first joint rotary wing acquisition program for the Department of Defense. Rotary wing aviation has limited programs to model its first joint initiative after. Complicating joint acquisition strategy further are the decisions the FVL program leadership is making, specifically the unique performance requirements and requirement for current weapon systems and sensors. The FVL program emphasizes Army and Marine Corps missions to the detriment of the Navy and Coast Guard. The Navy needs to take the lead of the naval variant of the FVL and advantage of technology.
