ARMY AL&T
HEAVY LIFT
The Future Vertical Lift program aims to facilitate the development of a new generation of helicopters to replace Black Hawks and other vertical-lift platforms the Army has relied on for years. (U.S. Army photo)
Te Integrated Mission Equipment for Vertical Lift Systems is a digital backbone of open architectures that will enable the Army to update and modernize equipment much faster and more effec- tively than currently fielded systems. Tis technology will not only meet evolving vertical-lift requirements, but may be used on other platforms in the future, including combat vehicles. Te flexible backbone will enable a plug-and-play capability, which will allow the Army to update systems easily with new technol- ogy. An added benefit will be the ability to increase readiness by programming the aircraft with the right capabilities for a mission before the aircraft departs.
In March 2018, the Aviation & Missile Center—formerly known as the Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engi- neering Center, or AMRDEC—conducted demonstrations on Modular Missile Technologies, a line of modular open systems
architecture test missiles. Te missiles were launched from a fixed stand and flew the ballistic path the team had planned. Te highly adaptable open architecture hardware and software design of the Modular Missile Technologies will not only reduce life cycle costs for future aviation weapons, but also will provide greater flexibility and the ability to make improvements rapidly.
Another area that we are exploring is air-launched effects, includ- ing unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles. Tese can be launched from current platforms such as an Apache attack helicopter or a Gray Eagle unmanned aircraft system, or from platforms still in development, such as the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA). Tese platforms will contain a variety of payloads to degrade or destroy advanced unmanned aerial systems and provide support to troops on the ground.
