Amy Phan\/Released)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>History of the V-22 Osprey<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>The V-22 Osprey is a tilt-rotor aircraft which has been under development, modified, changed and upgraded for nearly 4 decades. The U.S. Army began the program to develop an experimental aircraft back in 1981, it was known as the Joint-service Vertical take-off\/landing experimental aircraft or JVX.\u00a0 The U.S. Navy later took over as the lead component with full-scale development of the V-22 beginning in 1986.\u00a0 In 2005 the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bidlink.net\/news\/2018\/10\/defense-contracting-university-acronyms\/\">DAB<\/a> approved the aircraft for military use and full rate production.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>DoD Budget<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>According to Department of Defense (FY) 2019 budget estimates, the overall Navy aircraft procurement objective is currently set at 461 V-22 aircraft. There are 3 basic variants of the aircraft with the loins share dedicated to the U.S. Marine Corps. The 2019 budget breakdown is as follows:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Marine Corps model number MV-22: Total quantity of 360 aircraft. The Marines achieved IOC in 2007 and have a projected FOC date of 2018.\u00a0 Inventory is currently at 200 aircraft as of January 2014.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Navy model number CMV-22: Total quantity of 48 aircraft. The projected date for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bidlink.net\/news\/2018\/10\/defense-contracting-university-acronyms\/\">IOC<\/a> is 2021 with an FOC date of 2022. While the budget has a quantity of 48 projected, the Navy currently plans to procure only 44 aircraft.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Air Force AFSOC model number CV-22: Total quantity of 53 aircraft. They achieved IOC in 2009 with a projected <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bidlink.net\/news\/2018\/10\/defense-contracting-university-acronyms\/\">FOC<\/a> date of 2024.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Basics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>The V-22 Osprey is a tilt-rotor aircraft, capable of Vertical\/Short Takeoff and Landing (V\/STOL) with the ability to fly forward like a conventional fixed-wing aircraft. In fact the Osprey can operate as a helicopter or a turboprop aircraft. The V-22 is capable of flying over 2,100 nautical miles with a single refueling, giving the Services the advantage of a V\/STOL aircraft able to rapidly self-deploy to any location in the world.<\/h3>\n<h3>The USMC is using the MV-22 variant to replace the CH-46E and CH-53D. The Air Force CV-22 variant replaces the MH-53-J\/M and the Navy CMV-22 will be replacing the C-2A in the Navy inventory.<\/h3>\n<h3>The V-22 Osprey program estimates each aircraft to have a service life of 25 years with the fiscal year in service ending in 2054. The current program office is NAVAIR PMA-275.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Companies Involved<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>Many companies have been involved in the design and building of the V-22 Osprey. The Prime contractor is Bell Boeing Joint project office cage code 3B1R2.<\/h3>\n<h3>There are numerous companies producing the many systems within the aircraft.\u00a0 Below are a few we looked at; they produce, modify or repair the types of items listed.<\/h3>\n<h3>BAE Systems Controls &#8211; Cage code 89954 is involved with items such as flight control computers and circuit card assemblies.<\/h3>\n<h3>EFW Inc &#8211; Cage code 0WEC9, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems is involved with special purpose computers for the V-22 as well as main displays for the aircraft.<\/h3>\n<h3>Moog &#8211; Stock ticker symbol MOG, Cage code 94697 is involved with rotary electro-mechanical actuators, and electric power plants for the aircraft.<\/h3>\n<h3>Honeywell International &#8211; Stock ticker symbol HON operates under various cage codes with items such as the ACU-22\/A compressor, flight information display units, and control valves.<\/h3>\n<h3>Eaton Corporation &#8211; Stock ticker symbol ETN, Cage code 99643 provides things like pneumatic brake valves and hydraulic brake master cylinders.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Summary and\u00a0 more to come<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>We\u2019ll be reviewing more of our data on the V-22 Osprey in the future creating other articles and reports. We plan to show the all companies involved and what they manufacture for the V-22.
