Bell Helicopter said it successfully demonstrated forward-firing weapons capability by a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor during an exercise in November at the U.S. Army Proving Ground in Yuma, Ariz. The company announced the milestone on December 8, providing photos and video of an Osprey launching a rocket over the desert.
