MMSF blends data from multiple types of sensors to restore aircrew situational awareness in degraded visual environments and enables navigation in GPS-denied zones. Army's sprawling fleet of H-60 Black Hawks under the Future. Planned capability upgrades will demonstrate additional integrated survivability suite capabilities like Multi-Modal Sensor Fusion (MMSF). The reaction to Bell's V-280 Valor beating Sikorsky and Boeing's SB>1 Defiant for the opportunity to replace the U.S. While PDAS is currently generating imagery for two users, the system will ultimately support up to six users, which could include pilots in other aircraft and mission commanders on the ground. A model as cutting edge as the craft itself, the V-280 Valor features the iconic rotary-tilt function, along with a detailed interior and cockpit. PDAS is a multi-functional sensor system that.
V 280 VALOR COCKPIT SERIES
Aircrews benefit from its all-weather pilotage imagery while transported ground troops can survey the environment for tactical information and threats. The tiltrotor V-280, so called in a nod to the Army’s long held goal of a VTOL troop transport that could reach at least 280 knots (322 mph), beat out Sikorsky-Boeing’s coaxial-rotor Defiant X. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Ap/PRNewswire/ - Lockheed Martin's (NYSE: LMT) Pilotage Distributed Aperture Sensor (PDAS) system took flight for the first time aboard the V-280 Valor, Bell Helicopter's next-generation tiltrotor aircraft in a series of flights over Fort Worth, Texas, in March. Specifically designed for current and future vertical lift aircraft, PDAS consists of six infrared sensors distributed around the aircraft linked to aircrew helmets and cockpit displays via an open-architecture processor.ĭuring testing, engineers demonstrated PDAS’s ability to provide simultaneous coverage to multiple independent displays. “With its embedded, multi-functional sensors, PDAS is the ideal foundation for an integrated survivability suite that will enable Army aircrews to own any environment and universally detect and defeat incoming threats.”
V 280 VALOR COCKPIT SIMULATOR
Israel Aerospace Industries, the first international partner recruited for the V-280, will supply the nacelle structures, and Textron sister company TRU Simulation & Training will build a high-fidelity marketing simulator and desktop maintenance trainer.“Conducting PDAS flight tests on the V-280 is an exciting first step toward delivering a level of situational awareness unavailable on today’s Army rotorcraft,” said Rita Flaherty, strategy & business development vice president at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. for the flight control systems, GE Aviation for the engines, GKN for the tail structure, Spirit AeroSystems for the composite fuselage, Eaton Corporation as the distributor of hydraulics and power generation systems, and Astronics Advanced Electric Systems to design and manufacture power distribution systems. Additional partners were announced in the following months, including Moog Inc. Lockheed will provide integrated avionics, sensors, and weapons to the aircraft. On 9 September 2013, Bell announced it would team up with Lockheed Martin to develop the V-280.
JMR-TD contracts were expected to be awarded in September 2013, with flights scheduled for 2017. Whats so special about the V-280 Valor The V-280 is built for a top speed of around 300 knots (345 mph/556 kph) and should have a maximum range of around 2,440 nautical miles (4,419 km) before. The army classified the offering as a Category I proposal, meaning it is a well-conceived, scientifically or technically sound proposal pertinent to program goals and objectives with applicability to army mission needs, offered by a responsible contractor with the competent scientific and technical staff supporting resources required to achieve results. The JMR-TD phase is the technology demonstration precursor to Future Vertical Lift (FVL). that new element may delay the ongoing development of demonstrator models (V 280 Valor and SB-1 Defiant).
On 5 June 2013, Bell announced that the V-280 Valor design had been selected by the US Army for the Joint Multi-Role (JMR) Technology Demonstrator (TD) phase.
V 280 VALOR COCKPIT PROFESSIONAL
The aircraft was officially unveiled at the 2013 Army Aviation Association of America's (AAAA) Annual Professional Forum and Exposition in Fort Worth, Texas, with a projected first flight in 2017. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Ap/PRNewswire/ - Lockheed Martins (NYSE: LMT) Pilotage Distributed Aperture Sensor (PDAS) system took flight for the first time aboard the V-280 Valor, Bell Helicopters next-generation tiltrotor aircraft in a series of flights over Fort Worth, Texas, in March.
The Bell V-280 Valor is a third-generation tilt-rotor concept being developed by Bell Helicopter and Lockheed Martin for the United States Army's Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program.
