- GE provides digital backbone, voice and data recorder, and
health awareness system for Bell V-280 Valor
- Enabling U.S. Army’s open, scalable, high-speed data
infrastructure
GE Aerospace today announced the selection by Bell Textron Inc.,
a Textron company, for work on the development of a Common Open
Architecture Digital Backbone (COADB), Voice and Data Recorder, and
the Health Awareness System (HAS) for the Bell V-280 Valor.
Following the U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft
(FLRAA) program contract award, the V-280 Valor will enable the
U.S. Army and its allies to maintain battlefield superiority
including transformational capabilities in speed, range, payload,
and endurance. The GE Aerospace systems will be part of an open,
scalable, high-speed data infrastructure consistent with the U.S.
Army’s Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) that enables rapid
testing, verification, and fielding of mission-focused capabilities
for future vertical lift programs.
“This is a foundational effort to improve weapon system
capability and affordability for the Army by ensuring architectural
alignment for integration of new technology,” said Ryan Ehinger,
senior vice president and program director for FLRAA at Bell. “This
collaborative approach provides the Army a vendor-agnostic path to
explore new systems and capabilities – delivering soldiers the
right tools for success in multi-domain missions.”
“Our open systems technologies and experience provide the
customer with the ability to make aircraft system modifications for
this next generation of vertical lift aircraft,” said Amy Gowder,
president and CEO, Defense & Systems for GE Aerospace. “This
changes how aircraft are updated and maintained, and it ensures
that our soldiers have an advantage on the battlefield.”
Building on GE Aerospace’s commercial pedigree for open avionics
infrastructure solutions, networked flight recorders, and onboard
maintenance systems, the use of these systems will accelerate the
launch of user-configurable solutions for critical military
subsystems. The COADB builds on lessons learned from the Army’s
Mission System Architecture Demonstration (MSAD), where it
demonstrated the capability to rapidly integrate multiple
operationally relevant sensors and equipment packages aligned to
government-defined use cases.
Gowder continued: “By leveraging GE’s experience in delivering
open avionics architecture, the Army will realize the benefits of
Modular Open Systems Approach designs from the outset of the Future
Vertical Lift programs. Providing an open, high-speed, secure,
interoperable system in the digital backbone is critical to support
our customer.”
The Voice and Data Recorder is an end-to-end system to acquire,
transfer, process, and analyze flight and voice data. The voice and
data recorder supports the full mission cycle with safety,
maintenance, and flight quality assurance.
The Health Awareness System builds on decades of commercial and
military operation and has saved operators millions of dollars and
increased mission readiness with predictive maintenance.
Bell and GE Aerospace are incorporating these advanced
capabilities on the Bell V-280 Valor and Bell 360 Invictus as part
of the FLRAA and FARA programs, and working with the Army to set
the standards for quicker, more affordable upgrades in capability
as technologies and mission requirements evolve.
