Overmatch is fleeting and while traditional acquisitions can’t always keep up with new threats, a different and approved practice can.

IR countermeasures including missile-blinding lasers need to cover 360 degrees around a platform like Future Vertical Lift, because any gap is a vulnerability.

For 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.

To 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.

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.

“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.
