Military innovation and savings: Go commercial
DoD 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.

As threats expand, so does the Army’s FVL ecosystem of air launched effects and open systems capabilities
There are many critical connections being made across the FVL ecosystem that will also serve to modernize the current fleet.

RAIVEN: Sensing at the edge and beyond the pixel with embedded hyperspectral imaging and artificial intelligence
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.

A next-gen digital backbone will give U.S. platforms a one-versus-many advantage against near-peers
While the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) defined “open systems” at a high-level, each branch of the U.S. military is determining what that means for them. Collins Aerospace Mosarc™ solutions can address that across next-gen systems like NGAD, FVL, and KC-X.

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.
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.

Pacing the threat with open systems for FVL and the enduring fleet
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.

The “digital thread” is key to continual improvement for the Army’s Future Vertical Lift programs
By implementing a design-as-built methodology that digitally connects entire FVL programs throughout the lifecycle, Bell has increased its ability to collaborate in real-time with program partners and the Army to deliver new capabilities faster and more affordably.
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.
