V-22 Improvement Program
Abstract
The V-22 Osprey provides a dual-piloted, multi-engine, Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing, medium lift aircraft for worldwide combat, combat support, combat service support, and Special Operations missions. V-22 Product Improvements addresses requirements necessary to meet the aircraft capabilities specified in the approved Capability Development Document. Efforts included in this Project provide near and long-term improvements to the fleet, addressing deficiencies, systems safety, obsolescence, readiness, reliability, supportability, and relevance in any designated battlespace. Efforts include hardware and software development associated with increased performance capability, avionics upgrades and improvements, increased system processing capability, and the integration with other organic and non-organic systems. FY 2025 continues Airframe Hardware Development in support of V-22 Block upgrades, electrical system capacity efforts, time on wing/reliability improvements efforts, Aircraft Mission Maneuvering Envelope Expansion and Safety Improvement efforts. Continues engineering, logistics, flight test, flight test support and addresses correction of deficiencies and obsolescence. Continues efforts to resolve Fuel Cell obsolescence issues. FY 2025 continues Propulsion/Mission Care Hardware Development to fund the flight/engine hours that are necessary for the design, development, validation and verification of the V-22 propulsion and power systems at the Patuxent River squadron. Rolls-Royce will continue to provide engine support and development of V-22 flight testing. FY 2025 continues Flight Control System re-design, which will address obsolescence issues, mitigate deficiencies and provide improved capabilities through hardware and software upgrades. FY 2025 continues Open Systems Architecture/Cyber Security research, requirements analysis and development of obsolescence mitigation solutions for aging V-22 avionics systems to overcome obsolete hardware availability. Replacement systems will be designed to provide compatibility with all legacy interfaces and functions while resolving deficiencies, meeting expanding needs, and leveraging emerging hardware and software technologies to mitigate future obsolescence. FY 2025 continues development of the Joint Avionics Reconfigurable Virtual Information System mission computer and associated JARVI modules for distributed modular processing, which will add additional memory and processing capacity, address obsolescence issues, add software safety processes, and include Cybersecurity design concepts from the ground up.
