Thought we had a topic for the CVLSP but I can't find it for love or money, so I'll create this new one for the moment. The USAF's CVLSP replacement effort is not doing so well, not surprising given that at least some of the companies vying for the contract are still obsessed with 'continuum of best value approaches' i.e. COTS/spin-on even though that has proven to be an ultimately failed approach throughout defence procurement...

In any case, the Boeing/Leonardo MH-139 won the UH-1N replacement program in 2018.
