Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft

Abstract

The Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) Project's funding provides for the development of a Capability Set 1 aircraft system within the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) family of systems. FVL Capability Set 1 aircraft will conduct attack/reconnaissance missions in support of the Army's modernization objective of conducting Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). The FARA platform will fill the gap in capability for light weight attack/reconnaissance while significantly increasing speed, range, survivability, and lethality, providing Combatant Commanders with greatly increased tactical, operational and strategic capabilities. The FVL Capability Set 1 Initial Capabilities Requirements Document (ICRD) was approved in July 2018 under the name Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA). Abbreviated Capability Development Document (A-CDD) was approved 9 Apr 2021. The Acquisition Approach and Determination & Findings for Other Transaction Authority for Prototyping agreements were approved on 1 February 2019 by the Acting Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Sustainment) to execute a Competitive Prototyping effort.
