As the Army looks to field future aviation programs, it should think more holistically about those efforts, the service’s program executive officer for aviation said Tuesday.

During a panel discussion at the Association of the U.S. Army’s conference in Washington, Brig. Gen. Robert Barrie said the Army should look across programs and consider addressing common problems with shared solutions.

That could mean program managers accepting solutions that might not be exactly what their programs need, but are better for the Army as a whole.

Barrie said Army offices have in the past looked at their programs’ requirements individually and sought funding and solutions to fix problems with those programs on their own.

That is bureaucrat speak for "our money is more important the your life".
Soon, they will want a bus/dump truck.... will do both jobs but none very well....
We have spent the last 4 years regaling the success of the A-10/F-15/F-16, specialty weapons systems but we continue to want one platform to do it all, and now we are to accept "sacrifice" as the norm.
Why don't these politicians (including sr military) put their kids in these "sacrifices"...
