As part of the U.S. Army’s Future Vertical Lift initiative, a leading aerospace developer is supporting the MV-75 Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) being developed by Bell Textron Inc. A transformational tiltrotor designed to fly twice as far and twice as fast as the current fleet.
With digital engineering from inception, the MV-75 FLRAA is more than an aircraft; it is a pathfinder for the Army’s future force—built to adapt, upgrade, and operate effectively in contested, multi-domain environments.
The MV-75 FLRAA is built to process and protect large volumes of mission data in real time. Its advanced systems will rely on sensor fusion, targeting information, health monitoring, and autonomous flight control, all of which depend on secure, continuous access to sensitive digital information. That data must move seamlessly between air and ground systems, withstand harsh operating conditions, and remain protected from cyber and physical threats. To support this data-centric design, the developer required a compact, rugged storage solution that met NSA Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) encryption standards and integrated easily with the aircraft’s Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) architecture.
