We have ready-now manufacturing and service capabilities around the globe to ensure the Army can urgently deliver, modernize and sustain the MV-75 FLRAA for the next 50 years."
Collins Aerospace will provide several of these systems via commercial acquisition authorities. The five systems include:
- Main power generation
