U.S. Osprey fleet gets new flight computers

The US Navy awarded the Bell Boeing joint venture a contract valued at approximately $90.8 million to continue redesigning flight-control computers and cockpit interface equipment for the V-22 Osprey fleet. The work addresses electronic-component obsolescence, flight-system reliability and associated cybersecurity needs across the tiltrotor aircraft's different military variants. The modification supports Marine Corps MV-22B, Air Force CV-22B and Navy CMV-22B operators, with work scheduled to run through October 2030. Only part of the contract value was obligated initially, and the award funds engineering and equipment modernization rather than the purchase of additional Osprey aircraft.
