[Music] [Music] huh lockheed martin and boeing have pitched a tweaked version of the team's coaxial technology demonstrator the sb1 defined which it plans to submit for the u.s army's future long range assault oflr air competition according to the companies the modified competition-ready aircraft design is being called defiant x taking the same surname with little brother raider x which is lockheed's submission for the army's other helicopter competition the future attack reconnaissance aircraft rfar program running nearly in parallel both aircraft built off and scale up from sikko sky's x2 demonstrator which flew for the first time in 2008. the aircraft named defiant x is designed to meet army threats in 2035 and beyond a complete weapon system defined text builds on the handling qualities and capabilities proven by the team's technology demonstrator sb1 defined defiant x will allow crews to fly low and fast through complex terrain land quickly deliver soldiers and equipment to the objective area and get out defiant x flies twice as far and fast as the vulnerable blackhawk helicopter it is designed to replace it's currently undergoing testing in a digital combat environment extra speed combined with next generation flight control maneuverability will dominate in future joint all domain operations environments x2 technology offers revolutionary flight control design that will enable deceleration and acceleration that is truly transformational x2 rotor design will ensure extraordinary flight stability safety and assurance in the most rigorous of tactical operations defiant x will be equipped with a proven optionally piloted flight control system that will enable more reliable and safer operations in low altitude obstacle-rich environments are integrated uncertain conditions providing speed where it matters defiant x is ready for the future battlefield with unmatched range and survivability defined x will change the way the army fights enabling crews to fly low and fast through complex terrain where army aviators spend most of their time defiant x incorporates sakorsky x2 technology to operate at high speeds while maintaining low speed handling qualities this critical capability provides pilots with increased maneuverability and survivability in high threat air defense environments allowing them to penetrate enemy defenses while reducing exposure to enemy fire defiant axis compound coaxial rotor system and pusher prop allows for a high degree of maneuverability in and around the objective which is also directly linked to survivability defiant x is the choice between just getting there and achieving mission success together zakovsky and boeing have built more than 90 of the us army's current military rotorcraft and have totaled more than 15 million flight hours they are the team that has produced iconic military rotary craft including blackhawk chaluk and apache and they are in the best position to deliver interoperability with the enduring fleet with proven worldwide supply chain partners defined x will leverage and establish low risk manufacturing capability that is augmented by a proven digital thread and advanced manufacturing processes in use today on the blackhawk combat rescue helicopter and ch53k sakorsky and boeing's joint resources and experience in joint all domain operations capabilities make the defiant x team the best team to deliver a holistic weapon system to the army you
