"The 5,00kg (11,000lb) pusher-prop assault platform – which achieves speed and agility via Sikorsky’s X2-derived advanced rigid rotor and drive system – is already flying at West Palm Beach, Florida, and would be Lockheed’s go-to offer if the army were to launch an Armed Aerial Scout follow-on through its next-generation first future vertical lift (FVL) rotorcraft acquisition plan.......Sikorsky president Dan Schultz told Flightglobal after a media briefing at the Heli-Expo show that the Raider fits nicely within CS1, and that Lockheed-Sikorsky will respond in kind."
