COMBAT RESCUE AND RECOVERY

Abstract

671325 - 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, because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have already been fielded. 676016 - The Air Force Rotary Wing Avionics Development and Integration effort in an OSD-directed program to develop a fully integrated avionics upgrade that includes predictive terrain awareness and traffic collision avoidance. This program focuses on developing and integrating technologies that will increase the situational awareness of helicopter crews in a degraded visibility environment. This Joint effort was initiated by the Defense Safety Oversight Council. Other partners include USSOCOM and OSD’s Defense Research & Engineering Office. This coordinated effort between the Air Force Research Laboratory and Naval Air Systems Command combines multiple technologies and efforts to maximize efficiencies. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have already been fielded.
