"MissionCare is a performance-based logistics concept that includes an engine hourly charge based on hours flown; program management, which covers integrated logistics support, including support equipment," explained the US DoD. According to Rolls-Royce, 24/7 technical support, specialised fleet data analysis capability and local, regional & global support networks are utilised to provide unparalleled support services.

The AE 1107C-Liberty (T406) is a 6,000-shp class turboshaft engine manufactured by Rolls-Royce at its facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. The AE 1107C-Liberty was developed as the T406 for the Bell Helicopter Textron/Boeing V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor military transport aircraft operated by the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and U.S. Air Force (AFSOC).

The V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft takes off and lands like a helicopter, but flies like an airplane. Powered by twin Rolls-Royce AE 1107C-Liberty engines, Osprey fly at twice the speed, with three times the payload and up to five times the range, of conventional helicopters. The U.S. government approved full-rate production for the aircraft in September 2005 and awarded a multi-year procurement contract for 167 aircraft in March 2008.
