COMBAT RESCUE AND RECOVERY

Abstract

The Mode 5 modification program is an OSD-mandated upgrade to the HH-60G's Identification, Friend or Foe (IFF) system--the primary means of aircraft identification during Air Defense operations. In order to fully implement Mode 5, the HH-60G aircraft require a Global Positioning System update. Costs are only estimates at this time and are subject to contract negotiation and award. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, since it improves the already fielded capabilities of the HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter.
