Future Long Range Assault Aircraft Medical Evacuation and Special Operations Procurement Act of 2025

This bill, titled the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft Medical Evacuation and Special Operations Procurement Act of 2025, would authorize the Secretary of the Army to speed up the research, development, testing, evaluation, and initial procurement of two special configurations of the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA): a medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) variant and a special operations variant for USSOCOM. The MEDEVAC version would focus on enhanced patient care, greater patient capacity, telemedicine capabilities, and extended reach. The special operations version would incorporate advanced sensors, weapons systems, launched effects, and modular mission components that can be plugged in or swapped as needed. The bill requires coordination with the Army Medical Department and USSOCOM, emphasizes rapid prototyping and risk reduction before full production, and encourages component commonality across FLRAA variants to reduce long-term costs. It explicitly states no new funding is authorized; any development and procurement must rely on appropriations provided in advance by Congress. A report to Congress is due within 180 days detailing status, milestones, timelines, and anticipated funding needs for the variants.
