The army's future reconnaissance aircraft | Bell 360 Get Rid of Deviant X

The Army’s future attack reconnaissance aircraft, or FARA, and future long-range assault aircraft, or FLRAA, initiatives are being spearheaded by the service’s future vertical lift cross-functional team as part of Army Futures Command. FVL — which is envisioned as a new family of rotorcraft — is one of the Army’s top three major modernization priorities as the service prepares for great power competition with China and Russia.

The service is leveraging other transaction authority agreements for both efforts. OTAs are a contracting mechanism intended to cut through bureaucratic red tape and fast-track military prototyping.

FARA — the effort to develop and field a new scout helicopter — is facing three major milestones in fiscal year 2021, said Project Manager Col. Greg Fortier.
