JUST IN: Army Sees Role for Next-Gen Aircraft in Indo-Pacific

The Army is certain its family of new rotorcraft — which includes a scout helicopter and a replacement for the aging Black Hawk — will have a place in future in the Indo-Pacific operations, a service leader said Aug. 24.

The aircraft will bring advanced capabilities to Army aviation that far exceed current systems, bolstering the service’s presence and what it can accomplish in the expansive waters of the region, said Maj. Gen. Walter Rugen, director of the future vertical lift cross-functional team spearheading the efforts.

“These advanced rotorcraft configurations can get there — it truly is an expedition capability — whereas the current fleet can not,” Rugen said during a discussion hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
