to develop governing documents for the FVL programs of record. Tese efforts include:
• 2009 FVL Capabilities-Based Assess- ment and Science and Technology Plan.
• 2012 FVL Strategic Plan (signed by the deputy secretary of defense).
• 2013 Initial Capabilities Document for FVL Family of Systems (approved by the Joint Staff).
• 2014 FVL Concept of Operations (approved by the Joint Staff).
• 2016 Initial Capability Refinement Document for the first FVL program of record (approved by the Joint Staff).
Te FVL programs focus on meeting the requirements associated with the exist- ing fleet of aircraft identified in the FVL initial capabilities document, thereby providing a strategic advantage to the joint warfighter community through significant improvements in vertical lift capability. Elements of the FVL strategy include: a joint service, departmentwide, portfolio approach to a family of systems; common systems and open architecture; enhanced science and technology (S&T) investment to mature critical technolo- gies; setting conditions for successful transition to program(s) of record; and most pertinent to this article, industry and academia partnership or interaction early in the program life cycle.
INDUSTRY’S EARLY PARTICIPATION Industry partnerships in FVL and related activities have been numerous, multifac- eted and critical to the many successes to date. Although it’s impossible to capture all efforts succinctly in this article, one of the significant contributions is worth discussing in some detail. To take advan- tage of industry expertise and experience to inform requirements, develop strate- gies and assess
technological maturity,

Participants in the FVL initiative are organized into four integrated product teams, with each concentrating on service activities in their area of expertise. These IPTs have been key contributors to a number of governing documents, including a capabilities-based assessment, an initial capabilities document and an initial capability refinement document.

the Vertical Lift Consortium (VLC) was established in the early years of the FVL initiative.
Formed in 2009, the VLC has partnered with the government to conduct research and development efforts

Te VLC vision is to be a cohe- sive national resource that government customers can efficiently access for inno- vative technologies to fulfill critical DOD vertical

Achieving affordable programs: At the request of the FVL Joint Council of Col- onels, the VLC undertook an effort to study FVL requirements, acquisition and commonality. Trough meetings, work- shops and focused team efforts, the VLC produced recommendations for more efficient and affordable development and delivery of an FVL family of systems.
