CV-22

Abstract

This project supports integration, design, development, rapid prototyping, and test to provide improved capabilities to include, but not limited to: more robust performance in situational awareness (SA); intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), weapons, avionics; Special Operations Forces (SOF) communications; defensive/survivability systems; interoperability; speed and maneuverability; mission deployment and improved reliability and maintainability of the CV-22 platform. The CV-22 Osprey is a SOF variant of the V-22 vertical medium lift, multi-mission aircraft. The CV-22 provides long-range, high speed, all weather, infiltration (infil), exfiltration (exfil), and resupply of SOF teams in hostile, denied, and politically sensitive areas that allows the Joint Force to be more agile and responsive as stated in the 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS). These capabilities are not currently provided by other existing SOF vertical lift aircraft. Funding supports the following CV-22 requirements: CV-22 SOF Common Terrain Following (TF) / Terrain Avoidance (TA) Silent Knight Radar (SKR), Block 20 Development, Reliability Improvements, and Test Aircraft Flying Hours and Maintenance.
