Bell Weapon Systems Integration Lab
The Bell Weapon Systems Integration Lab , the first EDC-funded project , celebrated its grand opening in March 2024 . This state-ofthe-art facility will aid in the safe , rapid , and efficient integration and testing of a next generation fly-by-wire aircraft and mission systems using a modular open systems approach ( MOSA ) for the United States Army .
Moreover , this project will facilitate the creation of high-quality jobs that tie into the work being done in engineering , aerospace and aviation at the University of Texas at Arlington and other institutions . With the Arlington EDC ’ s grant funding of $ 2.5 million , Bell built the 50,000 sq . ft . facility near the Arlington Municipal Airport to house the Weapon Systems Integration Lab and eventually support a minimum of 175 full time jobs with a minimum average salary of $ 75,000 .
