FVL Operational View

FVL describes a family ofvertical 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 OSD-sponsored Future Vertical Lift CBA, and the2010 Air SID gap analysis

• Configuration selection– Advanced Helicopter– Compound Rotorcraft– Tilt-rotor

Key Features of the AVD

• 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 ArchitectureDemo (MSAD)

• Background: It is too early to design a mission equipment package (MEP) ormission systems architecture for FVL

• Objective: Provide FVL development with the tools, information andprocesses necessary to design and implement a mission system suite thatis 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

Execute a series of increasingly complex demonstrations directly relevant to FVL

implementation

Investigate the challenges related to implementing a mission systems architecture

– Safety & Airworthiness Certification

– Security Certification

– Reliability

– Commonality

– Resiliency

Address challenges using existing and emerging technologies and methodologies.

– Open Systems Architecture (OSA)

– Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

– Architecture Centric Virtual Integration Process (ACVIP)

Demonstrate the utility of the technologies and methodologies, and invest inenhancements / maturation.

Define processes for implementing the technologies and methodologies acrossdevelopment community (fleet manager, PM, requirements generator, certifier,systems integrator, component developers, etc.)

MSAD Approach

FVL S&T IPT

• JMR TD objectives focus on the air vehicle and mission systemsarchitecture– 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, andevaluate the next generation rotorcraft

– Reduce the technology risk for transition to an FVL PoR

• Many of the critical technologies and components necessary toaccomplish the Joint Aviation mission exceed the AMRDEC’stechnology purview– Sensors

– Comm/Nav equipment

– Weapons

– Soldier interface accommodations

The S&T community is responsible for delivering a technologysuite that enables a fully capable aviation weapon system

Bottom Line

• The Joint vertical lift aviation community has aggressiveexpectations for the next generation vertical lift fleet

− Farther

− Faster

− All weather

− More affordable

− Networked

− Survivable

• Critical technologies and components necessary to accomplish theAviation mission exceed the JMR TD technology purview

• The Vertical lift S&T community is responsible for establishing thefoundation for a fully capable aircraft system

• A cohesive, comprehensive S&T investment strategy is essential forFVL success
