Other Helicopter Development
Abstract
This Program Element includes funding for the development support for improvements to current systems for CH/MH-53, MH-60 development and VH-3/VH-60. The H-53 is the premier heavy lift helicopter for the Marine Corps and only operational airborne mine sweeping platform for the Navy. H-53 RDT&E efforts focus on trade studies and risk reduction measures to identify candidate survivability, safety, avionics, cargo handling, cockpit and other airframe specific improvements to extend the service life. The MH-60S Helicopter has three primary mission areas; Combat Support, Organic Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) and Armed Helo. The VH-3/VH-60 is required to provide safe and timely transportation for the President and Vice President of the United States, heads of state and others as directed by the White House Military Office (WHMO).

- Change Summary Explanation
- Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: 1109 CH/MH-53: Not Applicable 2415 AMCM: AMCM Blk 2A Developmental Testing (DT) has extended into 4Q FY10 due to engineering investigations associated with Carriage, Stream, Tow and Recovery System (CSTRS) winch and Tow Hook, delaying Operational Testing (OT) accordingly. Initial Operational Capability (IOC) and Interim Program Review (IPR) IV/Full Rate Production (FRP) have moved to 3Q and 4Q FY11 respectively. Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) Verification of Correction of Deficiencies/DT was delayed from 3Q FY09 until 2Q FY10 as a result of software integration issues which required AMNS computer hardware and helicopter common console software changes, also delaying OT. Technical issues with sensor performance resulted in the delay of Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS) DT from 3Q FY09 until 2Q FY10, and OT from 1Q FY10 to 1Q FY11. Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract award was removed due to reassessment of existing assets and ability to modify for testing and initial training. 2415 Forward Firing Weapon (FFW)- Design and integration of FFW extended from 3Q FY10 until 1Q FY11 as a result of further definition of contract scope and required engineering analysis of design. Air Worthiness Certification extended out through 4Q FY10 due to delays in test aircraft availability. Delays in aircraft instrumentation and required maintenance resulted in a delay in the commencement of Developmental Testing (DT) from 2Q to 3Q FY10. Subsequently, the commencement of Operational Testing (OT) has moved from 3Q to 4Q FY10. 2460 VH-3/VH-60: Not Applicable. FY11 from previous President's Budget is shown as zero because no FY11-15 data was presented in President's Budget 2010.
