EP 58: Equal Time - We Discuss both Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) Competitors (V-280 VALOR vs SB>1 DEFIANT) + Army Goal is 24 Modernization Programs in FY23 (Fielded or Prototypes) + F35 Delivery Waiver Signed by Top DoD Acquisition Official

In episode 58, we spend some time discussing the FLRAA competition.  We read an article in support each competitor ( Bell vs Boeing/Lockheed/Sikorsky) describing why their system is right for the FLRAA role. This is anticipation that the winner will be announced this week at the AUSA Conference in Washington D.C.. We also discuss some of the 24 Army Modernization Programs that the Secretary and CSA want in Soldiers' hands in FY23. Finally, we give an update on the F35 Delivery Waiver signed by Dr. Bill LaPlante (Senior DoD Acquisition Official).
