MV-22: A Hybrid, Multi-Role Aircraft for the Complex Battlefields of the Future

Abstract

Counterinsurgency Operations require a Tailored Aviation Unit to maintain persistence against the enemy. The Fielding Of Tilt-Rotor Technology has provided the Marine Corps with a niche capability, and a multi-role aircraft with extraordinary growth potential. Augmented with advanced sensors and precision weapons, the Mv-22 can provide the ace with an additional platform to maintain continuous surveillance and immediately prosecute targets throughout a large amount of battlespace. This combination will provide an additional fire support asset to support distributed operations, assault support and ground convoy escort, and an economy of force to the Air Combat Element.
