Navy-Marine Corps Osprey Test Marks Step Toward Expanded Anti-Submarine Reach
A joint Navy-Marine Corps test team has completed the first lot acceptance test of sonobuoys from an MV-22B Osprey off San Clemente Island, California, a milestone that could broaden how the fleet hunts submarines from tiltrotor aircraft. The demonstration advances a long-running effort to adapt the Ospreyโs speed and range for maritime sensing missions, with implications for distributed anti-submarine warfare across the U.S. naval force.
