However, Army officials believe the service can exploit gaps in the air domain and challenge adversaries in the Pacific theater with future rotorcraft.<\/p>\n<p>The Army\u2019s requirement is to be able to self-deploy and project force into the Indo-Pacific from Hawaii, said Maj. Gen. Walter Rugen, director of the Future Vertical Lift Cross Functional Team at Army Futures Command. That\u2019s why Future Vertical Lift programs are critical: they provide the speed and range needed to maintain standoff and close distances quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current fleet can\u2019t do it. They\u2019re not fast enough, and they can\u2019t fly long enough,\u201d he said at the Association of the United States Army conference in Washington, D.C. In the exhibition hall below were the four aircraft competing for the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft and the Future Attack and Reconnaissance Aircraft programs. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose advanced rotorcraft configurations give us the speed and the range to cover Indo-Pacom, [multi-domain operations]-relevant distances,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to be outside of surface-to-surface fires, we want to be outside of medium-range ballistic missiles,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd when we sense something \u2014 we see a high-payoff target \u2014 well then, we\u2019re going to close that, and we can close it faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to new aircraft, the Army is looking for sensing technology, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to sniff things, hear things, feel things, not just see things. So, there\u2019s a lot of other sensors out there that we want to be in every domain,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>More sensors mean more data that the service will have to quickly process using artificial intelligence, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The need for speed is of particular concern because as Russia has shown in Ukraine, adversaries can be indiscriminate with their fires, he said during a panel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re only going to fire on things \u2026 identified as a threat,\u201d he said. \u201cBut because of that, we\u2019re behind the eight ball when it comes to agility on the tactical edge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n                                <strong class=\"font-color-01 font-size-02\">Topics:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldefensemagazine.org\/articles?Topic={A98DABFC-5626-4A30-87FE-591670FA3CD4}\">Army News<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldefensemagazine.org\/articles?Topic={865339DC-6E37-4C6A-980A-CDF76DE6AFC8}\">Rotary Wing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldefensemagazine.org\/articles?Topic={807AFBE8-FE6F-45B3-B2A0-B7B9C7FD2E5A}\">International<\/a>\n                            <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army Vertical Lift Key to Indo-Pacific Strategy  Bell Helicopter photo WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2014 The distances involved in a war in the Pacific are a challenge for any<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1750451,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1750448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1750448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1750448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1750448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1750451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1750448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1750448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1750448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
