About this file
This document is a Statement of Objectives (SOO) for Primary Training Helicopter Requirements related to a federal contract opportunity for the U.S. Army Initial Entry Rotary-Wing Flight Training Next Generation.
The SOO outlines the key system attributes and performance requirements for the primary training helicopter, including specifications for HOGE, range, endurance, cruise airspeed, autorotation, landing capabilities, flight and power controls, crew capacity and weight, lighting, crashworthy features, FAA certification, navigation equipment, aircraft durability, and additional performance attributes. It also includes a Navigation Table detailing required communication and navigation equipment. The contract opportunity is for a potential Government Owned, Contractor Operated (GOCO) or Contractor Owned, Contractor Operated (COCO) solution to transform the Army's Initial Entry Rotary-Wing Flight Training program at Fort Novosel, Alabama. Responses to the associated Request for Information (RFI) are due by December 6, 2024.
