Future Vertical Lift
Abstract
The Future Vertical Lift Project's funding provides for the development of a Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) Capability Set Three (CS3) aircraft system within the FVL family of systems. FVL FLRAA (CS3) aircraft will conduct Air Assault, Amphibious Assault, Urban Assault/Security, Attack, Maritime Interdiction, Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC), Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief (HA/DR), Tactical Resupply, Direct Action (DA), Non-Combatant Evacuation Operation (NEO) and Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) operations in support of Army, including Army Special Operations Command, Marine Corps and Joint forces. The FVL FLRAA (CS3) platform will significantly increase speed, range, mobility, and payload over current US Army H-60 and US Marine Corps H-1 aircraft and provide Combatant Commanders with tactical capabilities at greatly increased operational and strategic distances. The FVL Capability Set 3 Materiel Development Decision was approved October 2016. FY 2018 funding continued to support FVL AoA modeling, simulation and analysis to include risk, cost and affordability, sustainment and trades and initiation of the Test Evaluation and Master Plan (TEMP), Draft Capability Development Document (CDD), Acquisition Strategy, Life Cycle Cost Estimate, and Life Cycle Sustainment Plan (LCSP). FY 2019 funding will complete the AoA efforts, Acquisition Planning and Strategy Development and LCSP, conduct Initial Readiness Assessments, prepare Systems Engineering decomposition and translation of Draft CDD into Weapon System Specification, and initiate the balance of Milestone A documentation and Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) Contract Requirements Package (CRP). FY 2020 funding will support the completion and staffing of key Milestone A documentation to include the Acquisition Strategy, the Weapon System Specification, the Systems Engineering Plan, and the LCSP and will support the continued development of the TEMP and the CRP. The Army is continuing to seek opportunities to accelerate the FLRAA program schedule.
