Bell Eagle Eye Cost Effectiveness
• Increased Effectiveness
- Operates from “runwayless” environments, close to the engaged forces
providing up to an 8:1 effectiveness advantage
- Provides increased battlefield flexibility
- Interoperability with the landing force
- Performs both short and close range missions
- Has the space, weight and power to carry
surveillance, targeting, EW and lethal payloads
- Broad range of speeds improves targeting and
permits the use of EW payloads (ship decoy, etc.)
• Reduced Cost / Improved Safety

- Fully integrated, dual redundant flight control system
- Extensive Operator / maintainer automation reduces workload and training
- Less space, equipment and manpower results in a leaner, less costly force structure
- Extensive off-the-shelf man rated components
1992 CNA Cost and Operational Effectiveness Results

Favored Speed in General and TiltRotor in Particular*
H-1 11-20-00
Summary
➣ Eagle Eye TR911D meets all the VTUAV ORD KPP and threshold
requirements and half of the objective requirements
➣ Enables “From the Sea” - OMFTS concept / doctrine
➣ Current VTUAV acquisition strategy will produce an ORD

compliant system soonest at lowest cost
➣ Eagle Eye is mature technology
➣ Eagle Eye reduces the life cycle cost to less than 50% of the
current fielded system (Pioneer)
➣ Executable within funding constraints
➣ Provides for growth
