Army Scrutinizes Supply Chain Risks for MV-75 Aircraft Delivery
The Army is closely monitoring the supply chain for the production of the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft, aiming to deliver the MV-75 prototype by fiscal 2027.
- The program executive officer for Army aviation, Brig. David Phillips, confirmed the plans in a recent interview with Defense News.
- Despite calls to accelerate the fielding, production plans remain set for FY28.
- Textron's Bell won the contract to build the aircraft in late 2022, beating out Lockheed Martin's Sikorsky and Boeing team.
"I think that is fundamental to any of these accelerated efforts that the supply chain has to be energized. They have to be all leaning forward together,"
said Phillips.
