Updated Aircraft Critical to Future Army Success

The Army must continue the work it has begun to update its fleet of helicopters with aircraft that can fly further and faster across the future battlefield, several top Army aviation experts said.
“Modernization is an imperative,” Brig. Gen. Robert Barrie, Aviation program executive officer, said March 17 as he appeared on a panel during the Association of the U.S. Army’s Global Force Next virtual conference.
“I don't see it as a choice,” Barrie said. “It’s a matter of us prioritizing those efforts.”
