Shift5 awarded NAVAIR contract for V-22 Osprey

Shift5, the observability platform for onboard operational technology (OT), announced its contract with the U.S. Navy to test predictive maintenance capabilities on V-22 Ospreys operated by the U.S. Marine Corps Operational Test Squadron. The contract, awarded through Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), enables PMA-275 to evaluate capabilities including continuous OT data monitoring, serial bus data capture, and development of maintenance-focused detection rules.

“When we think about the future fight, fleet optimization remains central to our success,” says Josh Lospinoso, CEO and co-founder, Shift5. “The V-22 Osprey is a highly innovative and versatile workhorse that will continue to serve a critical role in-domain. We're proud to demonstrate how our OT monitoring capabilities can enhance safety margin and asset reliability through data-driven decision-making.”

Shift5 is the dual use, subscription-based observability platform for onboard operational technology (OT), enabling smarter, faster decisions through real-time data access, contextual insights, and actionable analytics at the edge for aerospace, rail, maritime, and defense.

Created by officers who stood up U.S. Army Cyber Command and pioneered modern weapons system cyber assessments, Shift5 defends commercial and military fleets as well as weapon systems against operational failures and OT cybersecurity risks. Household name aviation companies, U.S. railroads, and fleets within the U.S. military rely on Shift5 for the security, availability, safety, resilience, and reliability of today's fleets and tomorrow's next-generation assets.
