This is the largest helicopter purchase the Army has made in the past 40 years.Around 2030, potentially 2,000 Black Hawk utility helicopters and 1,200 Apache assault helicopters will be replaced by a $1.3 billion purchase for the next-generation helicopter. The FLRAA won’t replace current aircraft one-for-one, but it will take over the functions of the Black Hawk and Apache, which have long been the Army’s mainstays for transporting troops to and around the battlefield.The Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstrator (JMR TD) program, which started in 2013, led to the development and testing of Bell’s V-280 Valor tiltrotor, which is the basis for the award.
