Purpose: Investigate/Mature processes, tools and standards necessary to specify, analyze, design, implement and qualify a Mission Systems Architecture in support of emerging FVL PoR that meets Army business goalsApproach:• Leverage or develop the standards and tools necessary to successfully
implement a mission systems architecture • Execute a series of increasingly complex demos - Learn by doingFocus Areas: • Implementation of Open Systems Architectures (OSA)
• Joint Common Architecture (JCA)• FACE™ Technical Standard• Hardware Open Systems Technologies (HOST)
• Application of Model Based Engineering (MBE)• Model-based specification/acquisition
• Execution of an Architecture Centric Virtual Integration Process (ACVIP)
• Predictive performance assessment
Increasingly complex demonstrations using significant industry participation

Future Long Range Assault Aircraft Description
• The Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program will deliver the very best tactical assault aircraft in the world with First Unit Equipped: FY30.
• FLRAA enables multi-domain operations with increased speed, reach, and a more survivable tactical assault and MEDEVAC capability.
• Draft Capabilities Development Document requirements include:• Fly further and faster, in order to conduct an air assault with a maneuver force, to an
objective in a contested and ever-changing environment• Improved survivability, reliability, and sustainability• Replace Army and SOCOM H-60 fleets
• JMR-TD Vendors: Bell, Sikorsky-Boeing, Karem, AVX
• Program of Record Vendors: TBD
• Proponent: Army Futures Command / Army Aviation Center of Excellence
• Milestone Decision Authority: Army Acquisition Executive

FARA CP Overview
Aircraft description• Armed recon and security mission, lethal and non-lethal
fires/effects
• Small form factor for mega-city operations
• Centerpiece of IADS breeching team
• Advanced teaming
• Focus on reliability and maintainability, extended maintenance
free operating periods, reduced forward logistics burdens,
affordable life cycle of sustainment
• Open architecture digital backbone for rapid capability
advancement
Approach• Few mandatory attributes, trade space defined
• Selections analysis/data based, criteria focused on risk
• Select and award to 5 company teams initially, down-select to 2 after Initial Design & Risk Review (preliminary design)
• Design, build, test two different aircraft
• Partial systems integration
• Industry/Government collaboration on cost models, analytical tools and systems engineering models
• Develop data to support airworthiness and acquisition planning
• Army-executed flight testing part of aircraft assessment
Strategy • Streamlined acquisition approach, prototype developed outside of DoD 5000.02
with 6.4 RDT&E funding – Not S&T
• CFT provides streamlined decision process, minimizes work-flow interruptions
• Other Transaction Agreements for Prototype (OTAPs) with industry cost share
• Anticipate follow-on Program of Record (PoR)
• Complete CP by the end of FY23
• Build in hooks for OTAP to continue
• Develop data and knowledge for follow-on acquisition decisions/program
• Obtain rights to data that supports PoR
