Digital Dialogue

AI defense startups get compute power they need to complete their software

One chipmaker is sharing its advanced AI processors and accelerators with promising startups serving national security.

Artificial intelligence can unlock historic data for today’s missions – given the right chips

Advanced chips that didn't exist two years ago can enable smart intelligence, bases, and planning.

Mission management on the move

A new Collins Aerospace system enhances U.S. Army mobile command and control.

The connected warrior will have a common operating picture even when contested

Mobile, distributed command and control requires a common operating picture even in contested environments.

Answers at the edge: Where to find solutions that connect the battlespace

When it comes to a common operating picture, not everyone needs the same equipment. What they need is the same situational awareness.

The “digital thread” is key to continual improvement for the Army’s Future Vertical Lift programs

By implementing a design-as-built methodology that digitally connects entire FVL programs throughout the lifecycle, Bell has increased its ability to collaborate in real-time with program partners and the Army to deliver new capabilities faster and more affordably.

How digital systems integration makes future vertical lift more capable and affordable for the Army

The future of Army aviation depends on major improvements in aircraft speed, range, and reliability. Bell’s vision to ensure these programs enhance national security and are affordable relies on digital engineering and modeling to integrate missions and air vehicle systems with sustainment in mind so they all meld together in advance of manufacturing to reduce risk.

The B-21 Raider: Infused With Stealthy Lessons Learned For Maintenance And Support

Low-observable treatments and easier maintenance usually don’t go hand-in-hand; all indications are that the B-21 will break that paradigm. 

The FLRAA/FARA Ecosystem Enables All-Domain Operations In The Great Power Competition

A flight-proven tiltrotor and advanced helicopter are the optimum solutions for transformational air assault and attack/recon.

No Compromises: Tiltrotor Mission Effectiveness For Long-Range Air Assault

Bell’s V-280 Valor builds upon 600,000 hours of experience with the V-22 tiltrotor with a clean-sheet design to meet the Army’s requirement for an air-assault platform.

The B-21 Raider: A Bomber That Is Both Low Observable And Easier to Maintain

Supportability issues that affected the availability and performance of early, stealthy aircraft are being addressed by Northrop Grumman on this new program.

Range, Speed, And Reaction Time At Operational Distances Will Define The Next Phase Of Army Aviation

Bell created the V-280 Valor with agility, speed in excess of 280 knots, and more than 500 nm of range that is needed to quickly take advantage of tactical opportunities in multi-domain operations in theaters across the globe.

DevStar for B-21 Design, Build, Sustainment

Advanced software development techniques are reducing risk and will enable the Air Force and Northrop Grumman to more efficiently integrate weapons on future aircraft, like the B-21.

A Leap Ahead In Speed, Range, And Endurance

How and why Bell’s candidates for the Army’s Two Future Vertical Lift programs will help to create overmatch in the Great Power competition.
