That's not a done deal yet, but the Valor is in the competition. Defiant (S-97 Raider scaled up) looks to be the primary competition from L/M Sikorsky.
Still lots to prove by both OEM's at this stage, but if you want range & speed it's Valor and if you want hover & speed it's Defiant, so I would see both companies getting orders, as these are very different ships.
Oh and I still believe the US Army sees Raider as the AAS solution.
