The report provides a detailed look at the U.S. Army’s approach to developing its new Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) tiltrotor, emphasizing the critical role of digital engineering and the integration of autonomous systems.

The report highlights the FLRAA’s development process, including the use of virtual prototypes, soldier feedback, and the impact of the aircraft on Army concepts of operations. The report also discusses the importance of training and the Army’s commitment to achieving a smooth and rapid development process.

The report is based largely on U.S. Army preentations at the recently concluded AUSA conference.

It addresses three questions:

What are the key design and operational features of the U.S. Army’s new tiltrotor aircraft?

How is the Army integrating the FLRAA into the future concepts of operations, particularly in the context of the emergence of autonomous systems?

How is the Army using digital engineering to accelerate the development and fielding of the FLRAA?
