US Marines V-22 Osprey shows forward firing capability

Bell Boeing manufactured V-22 Osprey tested its forward-firing capability last month at the Army Proving Ground in Yuma, Arizona.

Company officials said the test showed the V-22 can be armed with a variety of forward-facing munitions and can hit targets with a high degree of reliability. That will reduce the Osprey's reliance on forward arming and refueling points, which are sometimes necessary to supply short-range attack rotorcraft in support of V-22 operations.
