Rolls-Royce Details Its Role in Two Major Army Modernization Programs

Engineered to deliver twice the speed and twice the range of any rotocraft in the current fleet

For more than 80 years, Rolls-Royce has proudly stood alongside the United States military

engineering the propulsion systems that ensure our warfighters can execute their missions and return home safely

Today, as the U.S. Army undergoes its most significant transformation in decades, we are ready

Rolls-Royce is fully aligned with the Army's modernization priorities, delivering world-class propulsion technology built here in America to give our forces unmatched operational advantage

both in the air and on the ground. In the air, the U.S. Army is redefining vertical lift with the MV-75 Cheyenne tilt-rotor aircraft

engineered to deliver twice the speed and twice the range of any rotorcraft in the current fleet

Powering those revolutionary capabilities will be two advanced Rolls-Royce AE1107 engines. The AE1107 belongs to an iconic engine family that has amassed 92 million flight hours across 18 military and commercial platforms

That history includes nearly two decades of rigorous combat-proven service powering tilt-rotor platforms for the U.S. Marines, Air Force, and Navy

The variant built for the MV75 integrates next-generation innovations, including cyber-resilient digital controls and a state-of-the-art infrared suppression system into a proven, highly reliable Common Core

This is a mature, low-risk, in-production engine core, and it will be proudly assembled on our active, high-volume manufacturing lines at the Rolls-Royce Advanced Propulsion Campus in Indianapolis, Indiana

The Army XM30 program demands an unprecedented combination of protection agility and advanced capability That why we joined forces with General Dynamics Land Systems to power the Wolf XM30 a finalist in this key modernization program

At the heart of the Wolf XM30 is the proven MTU Series 199 engine

This is not an untested concept-stage power plant. The Series 199 is a highly successful, mature propulsion system with over 4,500 units already delivered and operating reliably across 16 NATO and Allied nations

Its performance and dependability in the harshest combat environments is absolute. By delivering an in-production engine family, rather than starting from scratch, we dramatically reduce engineering risk

compress production timelines, and significantly decrease lifecycle costs for the American taxpayer

And we are proud to say that when the Army chooses the Wolf XM30, these engines will be manufactured by American workers at our advanced facility in Aiken, South Carolina

Across the U.S., Rolls-Royce operations contribute more than $6.2 billion to the national economy and support more than 30,000 jobs

Over the last decade, the company has also invested more than $1.5 billion in advanced manufacturing and testing capabilities across Rolls-Royce facilities, including Indianapolis and Aiken

We aren't just selling engines. We are invested heavily in our communities, supporting American innovation and cementing a secure domestic supply chain

By pairing these deep American roots with our world-class propulsion technologies, Rolls-Royce is uniquely positioned to minimize implementation risk, fast-track delivery, and maximize mission readiness for two of the Army's most important modernization programs

We are ready to deliver for our warfighters, through the air, and on the ground
