Mission management on the move
A new Collins Aerospace system enhances U.S. Army mobile command and control.
A new Collins Aerospace system enhances U.S. Army mobile command and control.
Mobile, distributed command and control requires a common operating picture even in contested environments.
Michigan’s defense ecosystem and expertise makes it a special asset for production.
When it comes to a common operating picture, not everyone needs the same equipment. What they need is the same situational awareness.
By implementing a design-as-built methodology that digitally connects entire FVL programs throughout the lifecycle, Bell has increased its ability to collaborate in real-time with program partners and the Army to deliver new capabilities faster and more affordably.
The future of Army aviation depends on major improvements in aircraft speed, range, and reliability. Bell’s vision to ensure these programs enhance national security and are affordable relies on digital engineering and modeling to integrate missions and air vehicle systems with sustainment in mind so they all meld together in advance of manufacturing to reduce risk.
Low-observable treatments and easier maintenance usually don’t go hand-in-hand; all indications are that the B-21 will break that paradigm.
Consolidate network monitoring, performance management, and fault isolation into a single, comprehensive solution.
A flight-proven tiltrotor and advanced helicopter are the optimum solutions for transformational air assault and attack/recon.
Bell’s V-280 Valor builds upon 600,000 hours of experience with the V-22 tiltrotor with a clean-sheet design to meet the Army’s requirement for an air-assault platform.
Supportability issues that affected the availability and performance of early, stealthy aircraft are being addressed by Northrop Grumman on this new program.
Bell created the V-280 Valor with agility, speed in excess of 280 knots, and more than 500 nm of range that is needed to quickly take advantage of tactical opportunities in multi-domain operations in theaters across the globe.
Advanced software development techniques are reducing risk and will enable the Air Force and Northrop Grumman to more efficiently integrate weapons on future aircraft, like the B-21.
How and why Bell’s candidates for the Army’s Two Future Vertical Lift programs will help to create overmatch in the Great Power competition.
Northrop Grumman is employing this new derivative of DevOps to ensure that the B-21’s mission-critical functions are baked in long before the bomber’s first flight.
Risk reduction is vital in the development of this new Air Force bomber. Northrop Grumman is driving risk out of the program with digital capabilities throughout design, build, prototype, and test.
