Concept for the Future Deployment and Employment of JVX (Joint Services Advanced Vertical Lift) by the U.S. Marine Corps

摘要

Remarks on the tremendous potential of JVX (Joint Services Advanced Vertical Lift AIRCRAFT) as a versatile airpower and amphibious operation enhancement precede the author's stated intent to introduce a rudimentary JVX deployment/employment plan which will serve as the basis for future concepts. A brief review of the JVX program and the future features and capabilities of JVX are presented and followed by an historical study of the effectiveness of assault support airpower. Next follows an examination of political and military trends that may favorably or adversely impact the future use of JVX. After revealing additional considerations for the deployment and employment of JVX in the future, the author proposes his deployment and employment plan. This plan capitalizes on JVX's projected strategic and tactical mobility while emphasizing the derived benefit of increased deterrence against aggression.
