A chip in some computer circuit boards temporarily grounded V-22 Ospreys operated by the Air Force and Marine Corps earlier this month, but Otto Kreisher with Congress Daily reports that the Marine Corps and the Bell-Boeing manufacturing team identified and corrected the problem.

Sikorsky is pitching a modified "U-Hawk" version of older UH-60 Black Hawk series helicopters as autonomous resupply aircraft with additional capabilities as missile or drone swarm launchers.
