FVL Program Aims For Overwhelming Advancement of Aircraft Survivability Capability

摘要

The US Army has identified aircraft survivability as the single most important factor driving the design and de-velopment of its next-generation family of Future Vertical Lift FVL) rotorcraft. In that context, however, the Army views survivability in holistic terms to include platform detectability, maneuverability, standoff range, multi-platform integration, smart weapons, etc. - with on-board electronic protection systems, or aircraft sur-vivability equipment (ASE) providing the final element of protection.
