Upgrades and replacements are coming for the U.S. Marine Corps’ light- and medium-size rotorcraft fleet, along with advanced new uncrewed aircraft systems.
The V-22 Osprey aircraft is capable of carrying up to thirty-two troops or 10,000 pounds of cargo, while it is seen as a robust and flexible platform.
The V-22 Program Office is starting a new study looking at long-term modernization of the tiltrotor.
As all services emerge from March’s grounding, the program’s manager lays out long-term plans.
The V-22 could see a second chapter, if the services keep the fuselages beyond the 2050s and give them new wings and drive systems to extend their lives.
