Past event: Military Helicopters USA 2015 Conference

Welcome to Military Helicopters USA
Next Generation Rotary Wing Requirements

Leveraging many years of success with our International Military Helicopter event taking place annually in March, Military Helicopters USA is specifically tailored to support the FVL program and rotary wing modernization initiatives across all ALL US MILITARY BRANCHES!

Many existing aircraft models have been in service since the Vietnam era, therefore upgrades and developments are required across the board in order to support military activity at home and abroad. Over the past decade of war, the need for advanced rotary wing assets has grown exponentially as they are essential for troop delivery, MEDEVAC, close air support, logistical support and reconnaissance, border control and rescue operations.

Don't miss the opportunity to participate in this invaluable platform where industry leaders and military personnel including highly respected experts, come together to discuss, share, learn and develop their knowledge of military helicopters in an effort to provide all branches with improved, stronger, safer and more cost effective fleets.


Topics & Areas of Discussion

  • Identifying current condition of military helicopters across all branches
  • Understanding Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program requirements
  • Developing current and future fleet upgrade and development requirements
