  • On July 6, 2020, a V-22 Osprey aircraft destined for the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force stationed at Camp Kisarazu successfully prepared for departure from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni in Japan. These aircraft represent the initial batch of a total of five Ospreys that Japan had ordered in 2015, with a contract value of $332 million. Fast forward to the present, since Japan officially received its inaugural Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, it has become the first nation other than the US to possess and operate this versatile tiltrotor aircraft. But what was the reason behind Japan's purchase of the V-22 Osprey?

      They are uniquely capable. Inefficient or not… no other prop plane can land on a garden patch. And no other helicopter can fly this fast with such heavy load.
      It’s a chinook that has the range of a jet and could land on an aircraft carrier while carrying a lot of troops in that range and speed,

      Many versions of the V22 Osprey were proposed. Including ASW by the manufacturer. Only one variant was made, that is the CMB V22b. It is used for delivery of cargo to Carriers. It has a longer range. I think less then 30 will be made.

    The Royal Navy was offered an EV-22 version of the Osprey for AEW.
    ****
    But they chose the Leonardo AW101 Merlin Crowsnest instead.
    However, the programme as been a disaster, with M.O.D. civil servants failing to keep over watch on the contractors responsible for the programme.
    The plan had been to buy more Westland Agusta AW101 Merlin HC4, that would then be converted to a similar format to the Italian Navy's EH-101A Eliradar HEW-784 equipped.
    But after, 2010 when George Osborne became Chancellor (Finance Minister) the Defence budget was always under threat.
    An idea was put forward of using a "plug in and play" version of the Radar system, similar to the old Sea King AEW2 / ASaC7, but using the HM2 airframe and its onboard computers to do the task, rather than putting in a specialist suite of Computers.
    The Royal Navy, is already calling for the replacement of this programme, running between 5 and 7 years late.
    Leading to the embarrassment of the HMS Queen Elizabeth, operating in the South China Sea, without any organic AEW.
    And the Russian Air Force, Fighters overflight while near the Suez Canal, with no airborne Fleet Air Arm Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning's to meet them.
    ***
    Its probably that both an EV-22 Osprey and a Tanker / Carrier onboard Delivery version of the Osprey, that could now be ordered for the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm to operate from the Carriers.
    Also, the USA would like to deploy a Carrier to Singapore.
    But their are concerns about a Nuclear Powered vessel, stationed so close to a major population centre.
    One proposal being floated is for either LHA-6 America or LHA-7 Tripoli (They have no Amphibious Well Dock so can only carry out Helicopter Assaults) to be based at Singapore, and operate a V/STOL Carriers, with 2 US Marine Corp squadrons, equipped with Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning's (20 to 24 aircraft).
    These 2 vessels would be retrofitted with Ski Jumps, similar to those used by, HMS Queen Elizabeth, HMS Prince of Wales, Italy's 550 Cavour, & L-9890 Trieste, and Spain's L-61 Juan Carlos 1.
    The rest of her air group would be 2 to 4 x CSAR Helicopters 3 to 4 AEW V-22 Osprey and 3 to 4 Tanker / CoD V-22 Osprey.
    ***
    It is expected that Japan's JS Izumo & JS Kaga will under go similar modifications. Then operate a similar air group, less 1 squadron or F-35B's.
    ***
    Whether, South Korea's, Amphibious Carrier, Dokdo will under go modification to operate a flight (6) of F-35B's unknown.
    But it would be a useful step in gaining knowledge of Fixed Wing Carrier operations, for when their future 30,000 Tonnes + carrier is delivered.
    ***
    Whether, similar will happen to Royal Australian Navy's, LHD's L01 HMAS Adelaide & L02 HMAS Canberra is unknown.

    In fact, Indonesia almost bought the V-22 Osprey that was offered by the United States government a few years ago. And became Indonesia as the second V-22 Osprey user in the world outside the United States after Japan . But at that time the Indonesian government refused it because of the high cost of maintenance and spare parts. In fact, Indonesia is more interested in the CH-43 Chinook, although until now there has been no agreement on this

      Incorrect. The max speed is closer to 600 mph. That’s what the engines can produce, and that’s what the airframe can sustain. However, the manufacturer recommends keeping the speed much slower to guarantee the service life of the airframe.

      @@hdlim8753 The blackhawk had 20+ crashes in the first 6 years of service... The Osprey has only had 1 crash due to mechanical failure since entering service in 2007. More people have dies in C-130 crashes in the last 10 years than in the Osprey and we operate more Ospreys. Maybe you should do some real research instead of only looking for information to support your bias. The Osprey has a better safety record than the CH-46 and CH-53 and around the same as the Blackhawk.
      Let's examine the crash numbers from the last 10 years.
      The Army operates about 2,100 UH-60's including the national guard and special operations:
      >The current Army Acquisition Objective, or AAO, for its UH-60 Black Hawk fleet currently sits at 2,135 aircraft.
      The Navy has about 550, and the Air Force has about 100. Lets call it a total fleet of about 2,800.
      There are about 450 V-22's across all variants. Roughly 6.25 times smaller of an overall fleet so the 60's would have to crash 6.25 times more often to make the rate equal. Over the last 10 years, here's how the two airframes compare for accidents:
      V-22: 7 crashes
      H-60 : 51 crashes
      For the 60 to crash less it would have had to keep their number below ~44
      The Osprey is objectively a safe aircraft.
