The program manager for the Future Long Range Attack Aircraft breaks down what the supply chain needs to be doing now for production.
By Barry RosenbergAn open digital architecture leads to increased interoperability, affordability, upgrades and enhanced capabilities like launched effects and autonomy.
By Breaking DefenseThe Army has received its first two ITEP engines, and a re-engined Black Hawk will fly in late FY25/early FY26.
By Barry RosenbergSpecial operators had planned for FARA to take the role of the AH-6, but the program’s cancellation “changed our equation,” a SOCOM official said.
By Michael MarrowDoD uses FAR Part 12 acquisitions to save hundreds of millions of dollars in “of a type” systems like civil landing systems with applicability to military aircraft.
By Breaking DefenseOvermatch is fleeting and while traditional acquisitions can’t always keep up with new threats, a different and approved practice can.
By Breaking DefenseThere are many critical connections being made across the FVL ecosystem that will also serve to modernize the current fleet.
By Breaking DefenseIR countermeasures including missile-blinding lasers need to cover 360 degrees around a platform like Future Vertical Lift, because any gap is a vulnerability.
By Breaking DefenseFor Future Vertical Lift, the Army wants new and innovative technology that transforms their platforms into advanced weapons systems. One such technology is Raytheon Technologies’ revolutionary RAIVEN Turret 1000, first in a new family of EO/IR systems.
By Breaking DefenseInnovative integration approaches and open systems architecture can bring revolutionary improvements to the performance of FLRAA and FARA, as well as the current fleet.
By Barry RosenbergBoeing’s innovative solutions help the U.S. maintain global dominance by deterring and defeating the threats of today — for the sake of tomorrow.
By BoeingTo deter the threat from near-peer competitors, the Army’s air assault mission demands a revolution in capability that only a tiltrotor can provide — not just a faster helicopter.
By Breaking DefenseYou get higher speeds with less weight and drag. Meeting speed, range and payload targets for the Army’s two Future Vertical Lift programs can be partially accomplished with transformational integrations of systems that have never been brought together before.
By Breaking DefenseThe impact of digital transformation on defense technology, using model-based digital design to improve quality and efficiency of production.
