U.S. Army soldiers conduct Soldier Touchpoint on the Bell V-280 Valor: (FVL-CFT)

Soldiers assigned to 2-506th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) conducted a Soldier Touchpoint (user evaluation) on the Bell V-280 Valor in Austin, Texas. Designed and built under the U.S. Army's Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstrator (JMR-TD) program, the Valor has flown more than 190 hours demonstrating the advanced tilt-rotor technology needed to achieve the reach, agility, and speed the Army is looking for in its next generation assault aircraft. The FVL CFT has previously conducted several other soldier touchpoints with the JMR-TD aircraft albeit primarily focused on the pilots, crew chiefs, and mechanics. This was the first customer focused assessment involving an infantry rifle squad.
