FVL Operational View
FVL describes a family of
vertical lift aircraft
– Includes multiple sizes/classes of vehicles
– Considers the vertical lift needs across the
DoD
– Achieves significant commonality between
platforms
– Addresses the capability gaps identified in
the Aviation Operations CBA, the OSDsponsored Future Vertical Lift CBA, and the
2010 Air SID gap analysis
• Configuration selection
– Advanced Helicopter
– Compound Rotorcraft
– Tilt-rotor

BAA / MPS results in large aircraft
− MPS represents a snapshot of a desired FVL-M capability
− 230+ kt (significant impact on coaxial compound designs)
− 6K / 95 F vertical take-off
− 424 km combat radius
− 4 crew + 12 troops (335 lb/troop)
− Self-deploy
Flight test efforts will implement commercial airworthiness processes
Enables significant learning with regards to
− Advanced technology implementation on high speed air vehicle
configurations
− The refinement of analytical methods for coaxial and tilt rotor
configurations
− The efficiencies a commercial airworthiness approach
− The extent to which the MPS describes an affordable FVL solution
− The collaboration of the rotary wing enterprise to provide an advanced,
efficient, affordable Aviation weapon system
Mission Systems Architecture
Demo (MSAD)
• Background: It is too early to design a mission equipment package (MEP) or
mission systems architecture for FVL
• Objective: Provide FVL development with the tools, information and
processes necessary to design and implement a mission system suite that
is effective and affordable
• Approach: Develop and validate new approaches through:
• Analysis
• Modeling and Simulation
• Laboratory instantiation and test
• Products for transition to FVL
• Standards
• Processes
• Tools
Focuses on concepts, tools and processes,
not an objective design for an FVL MEP or architecture
MSAD Approach

Execute a series of increasingly complex demonstrations directly relevant to FVL
implementation

Investigate the challenges related to implementing a mission systems architecture


Address challenges using existing and emerging technologies and methodologies.

JMR TD Link to FVL
“The Congressional Rotorcraft Caucus is concerned about the lack of a strategic
plan for improving the state of vertical lift aircraft in the United States.”
•Escalating Ops and Sustainment Cost
•Unacceptable Number of Vertical Lift Losses
•Vertical Lift Fleet Accelerated Aging Due to
OPTEMPO
•Capability Gaps (2008 CBA – 55 gaps)
•Decaying US Vertical Lift Industrial Base

• JMR TD objectives focus on the air vehicle and mission systems
architecture
– Demonstrate enabling technologies for the next generation fleet
– Evaluate the overall value of technologies, configurations, and capabilities
– Mature the skillsets and tools required to design, analyze, predict, and
evaluate the next generation rotorcraft
– Reduce the technology risk for transition to an FVL PoR
• Many of the critical technologies and components necessary to
