Business Wire
Astronics Corporation (Nasdaq: ATRO), a leading provider of
advanced technologies for global aerospace, defense, and other
mission critical industries, announced today that it is now under
contract with Bell to support development of the V-280 Valor for
the U.S. Army Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program. A
member of Team Valor, Astronics has been working with Bell for
several years by supplying the electrical power and distribution
system for the demonstrator aircraft. The current agreement will
further mature the system for qualification and certification. This
award follows the Army’s selection of the V-280 as the winner of
its FLRAA competition and the planned replacement for the UH-60
Blackhawk.
Peter J. Gundermann, Chairman, President, and CEO of Astronics,
said, “We have enjoyed a close working relationship with Bell for
many years, providing innovative solutions for their aircraft. Our
CorePower® technology is designed into the Bell 505, Bell 525
aircraft, and V-280 Valor. We congratulate Bell on their selection
for this program and are honored to work with them to help deliver
the V-280 weapon system to the U.S. Army.”
The full development program contract is anticipated to include
finalizing the power system design and development, system
integration services, and preliminary flight hardware deliveries.
The V-280 aircraft will benefit from Astronics CorePower® family of
solutions, employing solid state electronic circuit breaker and
power conversion technology to deliver clean, intelligent, and
efficient power that improves aircraft performance, supports the
U.S. Army Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) initiatives, and
reduces overall system weight.
