Bell’s FLRAA Programme Advances with Milestone B Approval
Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. company, recently announced that the United States Army has approved the Milestone B decision for the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA), marking the beginning of the weapon system’s Program of Record (PoR).
The Milestone B decision is a part of the Major Capability Acquisition process and comes after years of the Bell team working alongside the U.S. Army and Bell’s FLRAA teammates to decompose requirements, reduce risk and inform the weapon system acquisition.
This includes the execution of the Preliminary Design Review (PDR), ensuring integration and effectiveness of the aircraft’s design, including weapon system design, sustainment and system integrations that are integral to the U.S. Army’s special mission requirements.

Following the U.S. Army’s FLRAA contract award in December 2022, Bell established several new facilities and innovative manufacturing processes to drive cost, schedule, and performance to support the programme’s execution. As Bell and the FLRAA team enter the EMD phase, Bell’s focus will be on continued design maturation and prototyping.
By utilising mature tiltrotor technology coupled with an innovative digital engineering approach and an open architecture, it will be a reliable, affordable and high-performing long-range assault.
