What do you get when you combine a light and an antenna for Future Vertical Lift?
You 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.
Sikorsky: FARA prototype 90% complete, learning from S-97 Raider’s flying data
“If we didn't have an S-97, we'd have to wait another year-plus to be able to fly those data points and to inform our production design,” said Sikorsky's chief engineer for the company's Raider-X FARA offering.
Last year, CSBA said the Army could afford both FVL variants. What’s changed since then?
The question of whether the Defense Department or the primes should own all the data rights to various elements of the FVL program is a simplistic, false choice, says a CSBA senior fellow.

There's no one software application, wave form, or set of capabilities that can win the day against near peers. Open systems, however, are that one thing that will keep Army systems relevant in all stages of conflict.
Divining the future of heavy vertical lift in the Army
With the Army focused on FLRAA and FARA, the question of heavy lift under the Future Vertical Lift program won’t be answered for a decade or more. In the meantime, here’s what the Army is thinking.
‘Come In Low’: Army Aviation Modifies Training To Prepare For Rivals Like Russia, China
"We're going to be flying in lower flight profiles than we have over the last 20 years in counterinsurgency operations and so, even today, we are changing the way we train Army aviators," said Maj. Gen. David Francis.
