Air Force Special Operations Commander Wants More V-22s
Citat: Air Force Special Operations Command would like to acquire three additional multi-mission V-22 Ospreys before the product line ceases, a service leader told reporters Feb. 25.
There is not much of an attrition reserve for Special Operations Command’s force of 50 CV-22s, said Lt. Gen. Bradley Heithold, commander of Air Force Special Operations Command. “Before our production line slows down or goes cold, we should pursue the attrition reserve in the 50 airplanes and take it to 54.”
The service has 51 aircraft funded through fiscal year 2016, according to the 2017 Defense Department budget request released this month. Based on budget documents, the extra aircraft purchased in 2016 is meant to serve that reserve purpose. However, there are no other CV-22s requested within the Air Force’s future years defense program, meaning the service would need to fund three extra platforms in order to meet the commander’s goal.

Marinci naoruzavaju i sve V-22
Citat:The aviation plan will also outline what Davis called an “Osprey Hawk,” which would provide the same improved sensor ball with laser designator, jamming pod and laser-guided munitions, as well as the V-22 Air Refueling System (VARS) to allow the Osprey to refuel other aircraft in the air.
Davis said the strike capability will be important for the V-22, which is in high-demand and being used in ways its current configuration is not optimized for.
“We have a weapon system called Switchblade, which is a gravity-drop system (with laser-designation guidance), and guys were throwing that out of the back of the V-22 and get a precision hit on a target out there from a V-22,” he said of a previous demonstration. “So if I’ve got a sensor ball with a laser designator, I can throw something like a Switchblade out the back. Right now we have a belly gun, I think the belly gun is relatively ineffective for what we’re trying to do, but you could put a laser rocket like the APKWS (Advanced Precision-Kill Weapon System) on the V-22, or a precision-drop weapon, gravity drop weapon like a … Viper Strike.”

Navy to Begin Building Longer-Range V-22 Osprey Aircraft
Citat:The Navy is in the early stages of building its own variant of the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft to perform its critical carrier on-board delivery, or COD, mission to delivery forces, supplies and weapons to forward-stationed ships at sea.
The service plans to procure 44 new CMV-22B Ospreys for the COD mission, replacing the Cold War-era C-2 Greyhound aircraft.

Netanyahu Hints at V-22 Orders
Citat: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated his country’s desire to acquire V-22 aircraft — a purchase that would be part of a new military aid deal he said he hopes to conclude with Washington.
Speaking Thursday evening at a US Independence Day event in Israel, Netanyahu hailed US-Israel bonds, expressed gratitude for Israel’s newest F-35 fighter and hinted that he intends to purchase with US aid the Bell Boeing V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft.
