This legislation, titled the "Future Long Range Assault Aircraft Medical Evacuation and Special Operations Procurement Act of 2025," authorizes the Secretary of the Army to accelerate the research, development, testing, evaluation, and initial procurement of specific variant configurations of the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA). These variants include a medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) configuration designed to improve patient care, survivability, and operational reach, and a special operations configuration tailored for the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) with advanced sensors, weapon systems, and modular capabilities. The Secretary must ensure development occurs in coordination with relevant stakeholders, aligns with rapid prototyping, and maximizes commonality across FLRAA configurations to reduce long-term costs. While no new appropriations are authorized, funding is subject to availability in appropriations Acts, and a report detailing development status, timelines, and funding needs must be submitted to Congress within 180 days.
