With an eye to the future, the U.S. Army held its Joint Multi-Role (JMR) competition in June 2014 to select the next generation of high-speed-rotorcraft helicopters. Several models were showcased during the event, but only two were selected to be further developed into technology demonstration (TD) aircraft: the V-280 Valor made by Bell Helicopter, and the SB-1 Defiant, developed jointly by Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. and the Boeing Co.
