The U.S. Army's LHX (Light Helicopter Family) Program.

Abstract

This report describes some of the observations, analysis, conclusions and recommendations of the AHSG on selected critical issues related to the Army's LHX aircraft program. The basis of LHX, LHX program management, technology risk assessment, speed, and one versus two-man flight crew are discussed in the initial sections of this report. These issues constitute the more fundamental aspects of the Army's LHX program which were reviewed by the AHSG. Primary and secondary conclusions and recommendations are presented. Finally, a discussion of specific technologies and Army aviation programs is given in the appendices to this report. The discussion of each of these technologies and programs includes the AHSG's recommendations and conclusions on the same. A set of attachments follows the appendices. Keywords: Advanced Rotorcraft Technology Integration (ARTI), Advanced Composite Airframe Program (ACAP), Tilt Rotor/XV-15 Aircraft, Mission Equipment Package (MEP), Very High Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC), Light Helicopter Experimental (LHX), Scout/Attack (SCAT).
