SPECIALISTS’ MEETING

"Vertical Lift Technology: Mission Performance Now –

Flexibility for the Future"

The Southeast Region and the Hampton Roads Chapter of AHS and the Colonial Virginia Chapter of AAAA will sponsor a national conference on Helicopter Military Operations Technology, 30 October through 1 November 2012. "Vertical Lift Technology: Mission Performance Now – Flexibility for the Future" is the theme for the 2˝-day conference.

The conference will start with a full day of classified presentations restricted to U.S. citizens only, held on Fort Eustis, Virginia. This will be followed by 1˝ days of unclassified, unrestricted presentations held at the Crowne Plaza-Williamsburg at Fort Magruder, Williamsburg, Virginia. HELMOT XV will consider the full spectrum of our global operations, and look at Warfighter capabilities needed to keep our edge.

Topics will focus on how vertical lift technology impacts mission performance in the current operational environment around the world, and the flexibility of future planning for the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security manned rotorcraft and unmanned aerial systems. The sessions will include a review of how we will transition from our current force to next generation vertical lift platforms.

Theme-related military and industry exhibits of new hardware and equipment will be displayed.
