Hay que reconocer que el bicho es un éxito y que no me importaría que militara en mi equipo.

Yo lo veo muy similar al EC135 que es algo más compacto y ligero.

Se nombra el SLURPP ("Sea-based Logistics Unmanned Refuel/Re-arm Platform")

Parece que el FARA tiene requisitos demasiado ambiciosos que habrá que rebajar. Un interesante artículo al respecto, en el que se proponen varias iniciativas, centradas en la reducción del peso:

Se nombra el SLURPP ("Sea-based Logistics Unmanned Refuel/Re-arm Platform")

Mola el concepto, que hasta podría ser furtivo si se sumerge un poco, desapareciendo de los radares, pero eso con marejadilla no funciona del balanceo.

NATO advances next-generation helicopter project as NGRC team grows to seven nations
10 September 2021

A group of NATO member countries has thrashed out the wording of an agreement to allow the start of early work on a clean-sheet medium-class military helicopter to arrive in the mid-2030s.
But the number of nations interested in the project has now increased to seven, up from the initial five-member grouping.

Negotiations covering the text of the legally binding memorandum of understanding for the concept phase of the Next Generation Rotorcraft Capability (NGRC) project were concluded on 8 September, NATO says.
“We are looking to have the document signed during the first half of 2022 in order to kick off the concept phase,” NATO adds.

In November 2020 five countries – France, Germany, Greece, Italy and the UK – signed a letter of intent signaling their participation in the project. They have now been joined by the Netherlands and Spain.

...NATO earlier this year released details of the “required attributes” for the NGRC, which include a common baseline airframe for a variety of missions. In addition, the NGRC should be “much more cost-effective than current fleets”, says Collins, achieving a fly-away cost of no more than €35 million ($41.3 million) and an operating cost no greater than €10,000 per flight hour. Availability also needs to improve over current-generation types, with a target of 75% for the operational/forward fleet.

Speed is also a priority. NATO is seeking a cruise speed of 220kt (407km/h), which would need to be achieved through an “advanced configuration”.

However, it has also set a minimum speed threshold of 180kt. Collins says this could allow more conventional designs to be offered. “This [threshold] is probably achievable but would require a fairly slippery airframe with conformal sensors – it is quite different to what we have at the moment.”
