The Digital Counterpart to International Military Helicopter
The US
Future Vertical Program has established a bold vision for the future helicopter force. It outlines a requirement for platforms that are more agile, better-protected, more lethal and better networked. They must be able to integrate unmanned systems, connect with the joint force and field air-launched effects at range to minimise requirements for mass and offset A2/AD. With such a pressing range of requirements, the
FVL webinar offers an opportunity to bring together core partners from across NATO, establishing a clear design blueprint to inform international programmes and platform re-capitalisation efforts alike.
With
FVL programme updates from PEO Aviation, US Army and the office of Director, Army Aviation, US Army, plus international perspectives from the UK, Netherlands and Germany, the
FVL Webinar will include three interactive discussions on three important themes: the Future Threat Environment, Manned-Unmanned Teaming and Bridging the Capability Gap. The half-day session is designed to support defence/industry partnerships on next-generation platforms, whilst also ensuring that current fleets are equipped to fight and win for as long as they are required to do so.
Main Themes Include:
- Retain a critical touchpoint with the helicopter community in the absence of physical gatherings and hear key programme updates on FVL and its counterparts across NATO
- Deliver lethality and connectivity for future platforms by integrating decisive air-launched effects and design open architectures that can integrate sensors across the joint network
- Maximise situational awareness, increase range and reduce risk for next-generation vertical lift by setting a roadmap for manned-unmanned teaming
- Embed innovation within the helicopter supply chain by overcoming existing obstacles to agile acquisition and taking advantage of a DevOps approach
- Prevent a capability shortfall by ensuring that legacy fleets sustain readiness and relevance ahead of new platforms coming online
