FLRAA MTA

Abstract

The Army's use of Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) authorities for Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) transitions work completed during the Competitive Demonstration and Risk Reduction effort to support three priority efforts: (1) completion of the rapid prototyping for the delta Preliminary Design Review; (2) deliver two virtual prototypes including a vehicle dynamic model and portable crew station; and (3) support the requirements for Milestone B certification under 10 U.S.C. 2366b. Funds will provide for the completion of the FLRAA weapon system preliminary design to include development of a digital backbone architecture to meet modular open system approach (MOSA) objectives. The development and delivery of two virtual prototypes will directly support early user involvement at the Air Maneuver Battle Lab (AMBL), the Combat Aviation Brigade Architecture Integration Lab (CABAIL), and also support system and subsystem analysis and testing. The total cost of the FLRAA Middle Tier of Acquisition effort under this Project is estimated to be $485.382 million RDT&E from FY23 to FY25. The remainder of the FLRAA program is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.
