| | III.D.4. Roadmap for Army Aviation |
 | | RPA will expand aviation's freedom of operation, improve response time for quick reaction and mission redirect events, increase the precision strike capability for high value/short dwell-time targets, and increase day/night, all weather operational capability. |
 | | This TD will demonstrate an advanced, effective, and highly integrated rotorcraft pilotage system to operate covertly NOE and unobstrusively in urban areas with increased survival in hazardous flight environments or emergency situations with reduced crew workload during day, night, and adverse weather. |
 | | Advanced concepts such as split torque, split path, and single planetary transmissions will be considered with advanced material applications/component designs to demonstrate lighter, quieter, threat tolerant, more durable, reliable, and efficient drivetrain subsystems. |
