As mentioned previously in this thread, some of the FVL squad sizing AoAs - especially those incorporating the use of exoskeletons - have pointed at something far larger than even the JMR AVDs.

Thanks for the link... I assume they meant 25' radius. If that's the case, then a similar pad size to the H-60 platform. You're right, the goals of the various capabilities specifications for the various FVL classes are aggressive and pretty future-looking.
