CV-22
Abstract
The CV-22 is a Special Operations Forces (SOF) variant of the V-22 vertical lift, multi-mission aircraft. CV-22 RDT&E provides development, integration, testing and enhancement of critical capability to insert, extract, and re-supply special operation forces into politically or militarily denied areas. The CV-22 Block 10 configuration adds terrain following radar, additional fuel tanks, additional radios, flare/chaff dispensers, RF warning receiver and jammer, infrared countermeasures, weapons, situational awareness improvements, and Communications, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) to the V-22 Block B aircraft. Block 20 development includes, but is not limited to improved brakes, communications, situational awareness, software, and other requirements specified in the V-22 Block C/20 Capabilities Development Document. The V-22 Joint Program Office is developing improved operational safety, suitability, and effectiveness capabilities in block increments. Ongoing planning and associated activities will take place to prevent diminishing manufacturing resources and obsolescence issues, as required. USSOCOM and USAF jointly fund correction of deficiencies and Block 20 development. USSOCOM funds the development, integration and testing of SOF unique mission capability, while USAF funds interoperability, basic air vehicle enhancements, integration of Air Force and Navy maintenance and information systems used with the V-22, support for operational testing, and CV-22 implementation and testing of MV-22 Block B and Block C changes. USSOCOM and USAF jointly fund development projects to meet operational safety, suitability, and effectiveness mission needs. This includes designing, prototyping, integrating, testing and fielding proposed solutions to emerging warfighter issues.
