  • Description: Bell Helicopter [TXT] May 5 revealed cooperative agreements with three new partners-Meggitt, Eaton [ETN], and Astronics [ATRO]-for the team developing the V-280 Valor, the company's offering for the Army's Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstrator (JMR-TD) program. "Team Valor continues to align interests and resources on this clean sheet design, together delivering technology and innovation that reduces cost, weight and complexity in order to make the next generation of tiltrotor technology more affordable," said John Garrison, president and CEO of Bell Helicopterm, in a statement at the Army Aviation Association of America Mission Solutions Summit in Nashville, Tenn. The JMR-TD program is the initial science and technology portion of the Defense Department's Future Vertical Lift program that is expected to replace 2,000 to 4,000 medium-class utility and attack helicopters. The Army and DoD want leap-ahead capabilities and have identified a speed of 230+ knots as a key discriminating capability. The current fleet cruises at 140 knots.
