Defense News: The U.S. Army has kicked off a major design competition for its Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft by releasing a request to industry on Oct. 3 to submit plans that could lead to a chance to build flyable prototypes in just a few years.
The service, in June, released a draft solicitation that outlined its intention to get two different helicopter prototypes flying in 2023.
The effort is part of the Army’s larger move to procure a family of Future Vertical Lift, or FVL, aircraft in the early 2030s, if not sooner.
