Description
Mission — Other Helicopter Development
This Program Element includes funding for the development of USMC Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Family of Systems (FoS) capability. VTOL FoS is a USMC initiative to address vertical lift capability requirements and determine feasible and affordable solutions in support of the Warfighter. This PE will include development and prototype efforts developed to progress high-risk technology areas in support of future Marine capabilities.
Mission — Attack and Utility Replacement Aircraft
USMC Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Family of Systems (FoS) is a United States Marine Corps (USMC) Future Vertical Lift (FVL) initiative addressing vertical lift capability requirements that are feasible and affordable in support of the USMC Warfighter. This is a supporting element of the USMC's Force Design 2030 guidance. USMC VTOL FoS will facilitate developmental and operational prototyping and demonstration of capabilities in alignment with co-developed mission focused areas supporting Assault/Support, Attack/Strike, and Aviation Sustainment. USMC VTOL FoS will continue the transition of science and technology efforts into meaningful Warfighter capability, which includes OSD Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) and Rapid Defense Experiment Reserve (RDER) projects such as Long Range Attack Missile (LRAM) and Penetrating Affordable Autonomous Collaborative Killer- Portfolio (PAACK-P). The USMC VTOL FoS is closely aligned with the OSD-sponsored FVL FoS initiative and will look to leverage any aspects of the Joint Service programs that may benefit the USMC through accelerated development and/or reduced life cycle costs. USMC VTOL FoS will be a force multiplier with superior performance, payload, survivability, agility, endurance, and reliability that enables warfighters to win in a future dynamic battlespace. USMC VTOL FoS will increase the Marine Air Ground Task Force's (MAGTF) capacity for long-range fires, Assault/Support, Attack/Strike, and Aviation Sustainment through the development of capabilities such as a logistics connector. This directly supports and enables Force Design 2030 by enabling the support of the Stand-in Force (SiF), Expeditionary Advanced Basing Operations (EABO), and Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE). USMC VTOL FoS will utilize Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership and Education, Personnel, and Facilities and Policy (DOTmLPF-P) analyses that will include all facets of a program with particular focus on life-cycle cost reductions through common processes, support equipment, logistic support and component commonality utilizing non-materiel solutions, such as maintenance strategies, training solutions, and infrastructure requirements. Air vehicle capabilities will include primary mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and structural components such as drivetrain, generators, landing gear, hydraulics, controls, seats, etc. The mission subsystems will include all on and off-board components with embedded control software for those components that provide all mission functionality, cockpit displays, cockpit hardware subsystem controllers and interfaces. The architecture will include the fundamental organization of the complete system, the processing method/component(s), the platform software, the operating environment, and the on-aircraft infrastructure to facilitate integration of all subsystems and platform. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program element is funded for Advanced Component Development & Prototype activities, including conducting prototyping and system demonstration tasks aimed at validating requirements.
