V-22 Bowing Out Of CSAR-X Competition

The Bell-Boeing V-22 team tells ANN that is has made the decision to not submit a proposal for the US Air Force's  CSAR-X (Combat Search and Rescue) competition, as announced on October 5th.

According to Bob Kenney, vice president of the V-22 joint program, "After thorough review of the revised Air Force request for proposal, it was clear that the CSAR-X program's requirements and funding profile did not call for the advanced speed and range offered by the V-22 Osprey, and instead leaned toward capabilities found in more-traditional helicopter-type aircraft.

"The V-22 continues to excel in its role of deep-strike combat insertion and search and rescue for the Air Force Special Operations Command and expeditionary medium-lift for U.S. Marine Corps, offering unmatched capabilities for these missions. We continue to focus on these customers to ensure we meet our commitments to them."
