Putting expertise and innovation to work for the future of military rotorcraft
As one of the U.S. Army’s six modernization priorities to dominate in the multi-domain battlespace, Future Vertical Lift (FVL) is a key focus for Collins Aerospace. The Army leads the way in defining the next generation of military rotorcraft and we are poised to help align and deliver capabilities that will provide advanced, integrated solutions and extraordinary performance – now and well into the future.
See how our best-in-class solutions can help enable platform-wide optimizations for FVL that enable more speed, range, payload capacity and ultimately supreme performance.

We believe that a best-in-class future helicopter solution requires innovative capabilities that push the limits of what’s possible, while keeping an eye on affordability, sustainment and training. At the same time, there are clear challenges in ensuring all the pieces work seamlessly together without compromising on the goals of the FVL program – from increasing safety, performance, lethality and agility to ensuring longevity of the solution and continuous advancement.
The capabilities that the Army implements will need to focus on some key areas to address those challenges and deliver at an unprecedented level –
"That's where we come in."
