To achieve the desired capabilities of next generation vertical lift, the modern aircraft has evolved into a highly interconnected assembly of disparate systems. Acquisition strategy now values experimentation, learning through prototypes, and speed of acquisition over traditional approaches. This is currently being showcased in the FLRAA (Future Long Range Assault Aircraft) development programs, uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), technical refresh of Enduring Fleet, and increased focus on MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach). The complexity of the system continues to accelerate, while assessment and qualification methods race to address the scale and interactive, non-deterministic nature of the solutions. Leading experts from the government, academia, and industry will discuss the challenges of affordably developing and qualifying these complex systems. The Technical Meeting offers an excellent opportunity to present and discuss advances across the aircraft system as well as new approaches targeting the challenging subject.
