Safran Defense & Space, Inc. , a testing and telemetry solutions company, has secured an order from Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. Company, to deliver comprehensive onboard and ground flight testing solutions for six aircraft under the U.S. Army's Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program. This marks a significant milestone in the development of next-generation vertical lift capabilities.

Safran DSI will provide a comprehensive end-to-end solution, utilizing cutting-edge technology to ensure precise data acquisition, recording, and analysis for the aircraft.

FLRAA is designed to revolutionize the Army's vertical lift capabilities. Developed by Bell, FLRAA is a tiltrotor aircraft that combines the vertical takeoff and landing capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and range of a twin-turboprop aircraft. The aircraft is expected to serve as a critical element in the Army's future air mobility strategy.
