FROM THE AAE
FLRAA TESTED
The Program Executive Office for Aviation conducted a Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) Soldier touch point at the end of November 2023 at the Bell Flight Research Center in Arlington, Texas. Led by the FLRAA Project Office, the touch point was the first of up to 12 events the Army plans to conduct to optimize both human and system performance while ensuring mission ready capabilities are delivered to the warfighter.

Te SAMP, along with the creation of ACAT IV programs (defined as procurements less than or equal to $440 million and research, development, testing and evaluation less than or equal to $110 million, based on fiscal year 2020 constant dollars), and their delegation of authority to program executive offices promotes a “buy, try and decide” mindset.
It was this type of mindset, coupled with the use of the Middle Tier of Acquisition Rapid Prototyping pathway, tailored reviews, and streamlined documentation requirements to meet program production, cost and schedule objectives, that allowed the M10 Booker (formerly Mobile Protected Firepower) to meet these program objectives within four years. Conversely, use of the Major Capabilities Acquisition pathway would have taken six to 10 years.
SUPPORTS DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION One of the most influential changes in the Adaptive Acquisi- tion Framework is the addition of the Software Pathway. Tis pathway is specifically designed for the development of custom software solutions and offers several benefits, including exemp- tion from the traditional requirements and acquisition processes.
Most importantly, however, this pathway supports programs adopting and implementing modern software developmen- tal approaches used in the private sector. Te adoption of these agile, iterative software development approaches will be a critical element of the Army’s broader digital transformation.
Currently, within OASA(ALT), there are 14 programs utilizing this pathway, with more expected to transition to the pathway in the coming months. AR 70-1 not only codifies the use of this
