The goals of the STOVL Program, which include basing flexibility, mission effectiveness, and survivability, can be met by means that (1) Do not require STOVL Capable Aircraft, (2) Exist within the current capabilities of military aviation, and (3) Surpass the capabilities of STOVL. Conventional land and carrier based aircraft have demonstrated the capability to function better than STOVL Aircraft from Sea and from forward deployed sites in combat. Simple, relatively inexpensive gear such as Ski-Ramps and Arresting Gear can further enhance the capability of conventional aircraft at a cost that is potentially less than developing and maintaining STOVL.
