Missions
Air Assault
Combat Proven
Survivable performance across the full range of military operations worldwide. Increase your commanders' reach by extending operations farther and faster than ever before.
Special Ops
Own the Night
Terrain-following radar and enhanced survivability features allow the
CV-22 to support the infiltration and exfiltration of special operations
forces anywhere, anytime, day or night.
Carrier Onboard Delivery
Built to Deliver
Point to point flexibility. The CMV-22's combination of range, speed, payload and vertical lift means critical supplies get where they are needed, when they are needed. Floor rollers and cargo winch allow rapid loading and unloading of cargo.
VIP Transport
Dignitary Transport
Land anywhere with the maneuverability of a vertical aircraft. Fly faster with the transit speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft. Travel with presidential confidence in an interior fuselage designed for dignitaries.
Aerial Refueling
Multi-mission Global Reach
The V-22 can refuel off most common tanker aircraft using standard high-speed drogues. Capability-proven during countless trans-Atlantic crossings by U.S. Marine and Air Force crews.
Evacuation and Recovery
Bringing Everyone Home
Faster response with the V-22's speed and greater coverage area with its range means more casualties receiving medical care during the
"Golden Hour." Use hoist and hover capability to recover personnel over
water or rough terrain.
