What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "CMV-22 Readiness Enhancement and Industrial Sustainment Act," authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to add nacelle improvements to the CMV-22 aircraft fleet. The goal is to increase the readiness and reliability of these aircraft for maritime operations and contested logistics in the Indo-Pacific. It also aims to sustain the nation's tiltrotor industrial base. The initiative seeks to retain skilled workers in Amarillo, Texas, during a specific production transition period. Finally, the Act requires a report to be submitted to congressional defense committees regarding the progress and impact of these improvements.
