Bell Advanced Vertical Lift Systems executive vice-president Keith Flail said: “Future Vertical Lift is ushering in next-generation capabilities to the US Army.

“CAE will provide soldiers the operability and maintainability knowledge base needed to successfully operate the V-280 Valor and 360 Invictus in contested environments.

“The addition of CAE to Team Valor and Team Invictus demonstrates not only Bell’s commitment to providing the Army the highest performance and flight-proven option to move FLRAA and FARA to programmes of record, but also to provide the best training solution possible to the warfighters.”
