ARMY’S NEXT HELICOPTERS ARE STILL A WAYS OFF—BUT THEIR DIGITAL LINKS ARE ALREADY
CHANGING THE BATTLE


OPEN, MODULAR ELECTRONICS ARE KEY TO A VAST LEAP FORWARD IN CAPABILITY, SAYS
FUTURE VERTICAL LIFT PROGRAM DIRECTOR.

The U.S. Army’s next big leap in aviation will be as much about moving bits as
rotor blades, said Maj. Gen. Walter Rugen, who directs the service’s Future
Vertical Lift Program.

“The Analog Age will not give us the decisive transformational capabilities we
need on the future battlefield for the future force,” Rugen said Wednesday at a
Center for Strategic and International Studies event on the future of Army
vertical lift. 

So the FVL program is focusing on four lines of development: an attack
reconnaissance aircraft, a long-range assault aircraft to replace the Black
Hawk, unmanned systems, and a modular open-system approach. 

While many of the FVL efforts are classified, this last line of effort—to
develop digital modules that are widely compatible across an open system—has
already been used in field experiments. And it’s “changing the game,” Rugen
said. 

One “use case” he was able to share involved an Italian joint terminal attack
controller, or  JTAC, ordering fire on a training target in the U.S.

“That’s very difficult to do: a cross-border call for fire with an international
flavor,” Rugen said. 

The Italian JTAC inputs data for a call for fire. That data makes its way
through a Dutch enclave communication network which then brings that data into
the 82nd Airborne to cue U.S. personnel. The Army’s widely adaptable digital
modules and an open system of communication were key in executing this exercise,
Rugen explained. 

“That’s the kind of agility we’re going to need on a future battlefield. We’re
going to need to have a very flat organization across our partners, allies, and
friends. And that flat organization needs to be very fast and innovative,” Rugen
said.  

And the digital modular systems are easy to learn.

Speed and Operational Reach are Essential in War

“We've seen just transformational speed when it comes to things that we hand off
to soldiers to fly and fight,” Rugen said. “For example, our UAS used to take 16
minutes to hand off down to the tactical edge. We call it a Class C handover. We
did it in 90 seconds. And that's again at the pace of the battle. And that's the
step change that we're seeing across a whole host of tactical tasks that we need
to accomplish at speed to be better.”

And while all these advancements are certainly exciting, Rugen said “jumps to
the future” are just par for the course for the Army. 

“The Army modernizes about every 40 or 50 years,” he said. “We’re coming out of
20 years of counterinsurgency, and we’re at a similar inflection point that we
were in the 70s coming out of Vietnam, where we jumped to the future to get that
capability. Now this is much more transformational than the Huey or the 58 or
the Cobra—the Vietnam-era fleet. It’s a great opportunity.”
