WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- Cobham has been awarded a contract by the Bell-Boeing Joint Project Office to develop an aerial refueling system for the U.S. Marine Corps' Osprey aircraft, Cobham announced this week.
The deal, for an undisclosed amount, involves developing a palletized aerial refueling system that will allow the V-22 to refuel other aircraft using Cobham's modified FR300 Hose Drum Unit, the company said in a statement.
