Bell MV-75

The MV-75 designation is hugely important. What does it mean though? The M and the V, multi-mission vertical lift. This is not just an aerosol platform, and we've talked about aerosol medevac, special operations, but when you look across the joint force at what this kind of capability can provide when you've got the speed range and the open systems approach, it is multi-mission. And our ability, especially with the open systems digital backbone, to be able to execute different missions with different mission systems, both from a hardware and software side, is gonna be huge. And the 75 is special this year is the 250th birthday for the Army, so 1775. Here we are in 2025 with the MV-75 special.
