V2X Inc. (NYSE: VVX) has progressed to Phase II of the U.S. Army’s Flight School Next (FSN) competition, joining Bell Textron and other industry partners. The advancement follows a competitive selection process that will ultimately award a 26‑year, contractor‑owned, contractor‑operated training program designed to serve 800 to 1,500 rotary‑wing pilots annually.

The Phase II award is a significant milestone for V2X, which will contribute its simulation‑based training, logistics, and advanced technology capabilities to create an adaptive, immersive learning environment. The company’s expertise in AI‑driven flight simulators and data‑analytics platforms positions it to deliver a scalable curriculum that can be deployed across the Army’s training network.

While the announcement did not disclose a specific contract value, the FSN program is expected to generate multi‑year revenue streams that could reach billions of dollars. Analysts estimate the total program value could exceed $10 billion over its 26‑year life, with V2X’s share of the contract potentially amounting to several hundred million annually.

The FSN competition is scheduled to award the final contract by September 2026, after Phase II teams present detailed proposals and the Army evaluates cost, performance, and risk. V2X’s participation alongside Bell Textron, M1 Support Services, and Lockheed Martin places it in a strong position to secure a share of the long‑term training contract.

CEO Jeremy C. Wensinger emphasized the strategic importance of the FSN win, stating, “Advancing to Phase II alongside Bell and our teammates is a significant step forward in our shared effort to empower Army aviation with pioneering training methods.” The announcement reinforces V2X’s alignment with national security priorities and signals confidence in its ability to scale its training solutions.
