Dne 06.12.2022 byl zástupci US Army oznámen vítěz programu Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (jedná se o součást programu Future Vertical Lift) z roku 2019, ale jehož kořeny sahají až do roku 2013.
Jako budoucí náhrada strojů řady Sikorsky H-60 Black Hawk (a potenciálně i McDonnel Douglas / Boeing AH-64 Apache) byl vybrán model Bell V-280 Valor.
Jadnalo by se o (postupnou) náhradu více jak dvoutisíc strojů Black Hawk. Tento stroj nabízí téměř dvounásobnou cestovní rychlost (280-305 kn), přepraví o cca 25% více nákladu nebo osob, a to na více jak dvounásobnou vzdálenost.

06.04.2023 - GAO rejects complaints from competing team Sikorsky-Boeing (with SB-1 Defiant helicopter)


Lockheed Martin Corp.Lockheed Martin Corp., the owner of Co. Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., filed a complaint in late 2022 against the conduct or results of the FLRAA competition. Similarly, a "teammate" of the Co. The Boeing Co.. The filing by the moms was not surprising; this is the largest contract in 40 years to replace more than 2,000 helicopters and operate them for decades to come.
However, the GAO has dismissed all of the complaints, so there is no longer any impediment to continuing the program.
