THE STATE OF FUTURE VERTICAL LIFT
Join us in Room 204AB at the Walter E Convention Center or watch the livestream below.
Future Vertical Lift represents one of the Army’s most ambitious modernization priorities, promising greater speed, range, and adaptability in the skies. But progress is measured not only in engineering milestones, but also in how lessons from Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific reshape requirements. The conversation now is whether the program is aligned with evolving threats and on track to deliver platforms that can dominate in contested environments. In this panel event, Defense News will assess the status of Future Vertical Lift, examine its next steps, and explore how shifting global conflicts are shaping its trajectory.
