Rotary Wing Roadmapping Industry Day
Building on a successful forum in July, NACRA is hosting a vertical Lift roadmapping Industry Day Oct 6. Open to Industry, Academia and other Gov't agencies the event will featured acquisition roadmap briefs by the VL programs as well as the Requirements Officers from the vertical lift programs (platform and commodity). The forum served to familiarize each of the participants with all of the roadmaps developed to date and help the collective effort progress to the next level of roadmap development (incorporation of warfare analysis).
The collection of program roadmaps presented at the forum is available on NACRA's secure website or Contact us.
