Bell-Boeing after giving out a technical briefing on V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft to Indian Coast guard and Indian Navy earlier this year is also keen to hold similar briefing for Indian Army according to sources close to idrw.org
Indian Army which had dispatched few Helicopters from its Aviation arm to carry out rescue effort in quake hit Nepal this year, also observed operational capability of four tilt-rotor MV-22 Ospreys which were dispatched by US Military for Rescue effort and belonged to Squadron 262 of US Marine Corps which are based out of Okinawa in Japan.
Part propeller plane, part helicopter V-22 Osprey flew in challenging and hostile Himalayan range and was a constant challenge to Pilots flying at that altitude. MV-22 Ospreys while in Nepal flew also flew to a border town in the eastern India. the whole operation was conducted in coordination with Indian Army was to transport urgent relief materials.
Osprey which is significantly faster than a helicopter, and can carry bigger payload might have left some good impression on Indian Army. Sources close to idrw.org have not confirmed if Indian Army as requested technical briefing on V-22 Osprey from Bell-Boeing but efforts have been made to hold such briefings
Bell-Boeing likely will pitch V-22 Osprey for Special operations forces and will highlight tilt-rotor aircraft’s ability in executing long-range infiltration, exfiltration and in resupply missions or for Humanitarian efforts. Indian Navy which was briefed earlier this year plans to use it from Aircraft carriers, currently Indian Navy is only exploring the operational capability of the aircraft and how it could meet its needs for carrier-borne operations from future Indigenous aircraft carriers and have not made decision regarding it yet.
