Gray Eagle STOL and Gray Eagle 25M are the best options for Army aviation as it assesses where to move from its current inflection point.
By GENERAL ATOMICS AERONAUTICAL SYSTEMS, INC.How to ensure readiness of next-generation defense technology: Solving the issue of massive heat.
High-performance systems generate tremendous amounts of heat that can compromise missions and make high-tech systems less effective in tactical environments. But there is a solution to this modern-age challenge.
General Atomics will also showcase its Mojave demonstrator for the first time during the Army Aviation Association of America conference in Denver, a company spokesman said.

How to unlock innovation and savings for DoD: “commercial,” not COTS
Overmatch is fleeting and while traditional acquisitions can’t always keep up with new threats, a different and approved practice can.
With the Army focused on FLRAA and FARA, the question of heavy lift under the Future Vertical Lift program won’t be answered for a decade or more. In the meantime, here’s what the Army is thinking.

“We’re going to be flying in lower flight profiles than we have over the last 20 years in counterinsurgency operations and so, even today, we are changing the way we train Army aviators,” said Maj. Gen. David Francis.

Range, Speed, And Reaction Time At Operational Distances Will Define The Next Phase Of Army Aviation
Bell created the V-280 Valor with agility, speed in excess of 280 knots, and more than 500 nm of range that is needed to quickly take advantage of tactical opportunities in multi-domain operations in theaters across the globe.

“I think it’s unanimous from all the soldiers involved that we got this one right,” said the Army’s project manager for the Future Tactical Unmanned Aerial System. Manned aircraft, FARA and FLRAA, are also moving out sharply.
