| 概述 | Future Vertical Lift is an effort to deliver generational change to a fleet of aging helicopters. Until recently$however$investments have been limited relative to overall vertical lift spending. This follow-up CSIS brief looks at how this may change over the next decade. |
| 摘要 | The Issue In our last paper, we discussed the current state of the U.S. vertical lift fleet and how past investment decisions helped shape this fleet. This brief will focus on future investments. Vertical lift aircraft are a substantial part of the U.S. military, both in terms of fleet size and investment levels. Helicopters and tiltrotors make up nearly half of the military’s combat aircraft fleet, and with more than $8 billion being spent on buying and developing these aircraft each year, they draw a substantial share of the defense budget. However, despite major investments, the vertical lift fleet has not undergone generational change since the 1980s. This is especially true within the Army, which has the largest vertical lift fleet. With a new joint effort called Future Vertical Lift (FVL), the Department of Defense (DoD) plans to deliver the next generational leap in capability. This brief (along with a forthcoming third brief ) covers the prospects for vertical lift modernization in the coming decades (using the FY19 Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) as a baseline): the timing and pace of FVL, potential upgrades to the current fleet, and long-term options for FVL.

Note: This table is an abbreviated version of one from RAND’s 2017 report, “Enhancing Management of the Joint Future Vertical Lift Initiative.” This offers the best publicly available breakdown of the various capability sets and the comprehensive nature of FVL, but it is not a formal set of FVL requirements. Actual service specifications have and will change from the ranges described in this table. DOD Funding Note: The shaded region, 2009-2018, reflects money that has already been spent or enacted (2018).

Vertical Lift Modernization in the Future Years Defense Program (2019-2023)4 FISCAL YEAR 2019 FYDP PROJECTIONS According to DoD projections from the fiscal year 2019 FYDP, the United States planned to spend $47 billion on vertical lift (procurement and RDT&E) over the next five years (2019-2023). This would mean a 4.1 percent decline in spending from the past five years (2014-2018), which includes several budget years when overall defense spending was declining. Moreover, fiscal year 2019 FYDP Army projections indicated that its proportion of procurement and RDT&E vertical lifting spending would actually drop in comparison to the other services: 1) Navy: $23.7 billion (50.8 percent); 2) Army $15.5 billion (33.1 percent); and 3) Air Force: $7.5 billion (16.1 percent). Note: Like before, the shaded region, 2009-2018, reflects money that has already been spent or enacted (2018). The clear region, 2019-2023, reflects projected spending based on the president’s budget request for FY2019. Source: CSIS analysis; Future Years Defense Program.
