Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, has been awarded multiple contracts by Bell Textron to supply five key systems for the US Army’s next-generation MV-75 Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA). The systems—covering power generation, drive components, sensors, seating, and ice protection—support a modern rotorcraft designed to fly farther and faster while delivering significantly enhanced long-range assault capability through a modular, digitally engineered design.
Collins Aerospace will provide several of these systems via commercial acquisition authorities. The five systems include:
The program is part of the US Army’s broader push to field a major leap in aviation capability, and the MV-75 has now been officially named “Cheyenne II”, as announced at the Army Aviation Association of America conference on April 15, 2026. The aircraft is intended to improve speed, payload, and survivability compared to current platforms, marking a major step forward in next-generation vertical lift operations.
