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. This PE includes Congreassional Add funding : M230 30MM Chain Gun Automatic Cannon, moved from PE 0604216N.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: 1109 CH/MH-53: Not Applicable 2415 AMCM: AMCM Blk 2A Operational Testing (OT) commencement has extended into 4Q FY10 due to engineering investigations associated with Carriage, Stream, Tow and Recovery System winch, Tow Hook and finalization of the tow cable configuration. Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) Verification of Correction of Deficiencies/Developmental Test (DT) has delayed until 1Q FY11 as a result of software integration issues which required AMNS computer hardware and helicopter common console software changes, also delaying OT. Sensor software development issues resulted in the extension of Airborne Laser Mine Detection System DT from 2Q FY10 to 3Q FY10, subsequently delaying OT. However, there is no impact to Littoral Combat Ship planned testing in FY11 or FY12. Organic Airborne and Surface Influence Sweep Contractor Test has been delayed from 3Q FY10 to 3Q FY11 due to aircraft scheduling priorities, subsequently delaying DT and OT. Rapid Airborne Mine Clearance System efforts have been removed from the schedule since is not funded within the program budget. 2415 Forward Firing Weapon - Air Worthiness Certification extended 1Q FY11 due to delays in test aircraft availability. Delays in aircraft instrumentation and required maintenance resulted in a delay in the commencement of DT from 3Q FY10 to 1Q FY11, subsequently, delaying OT. 2460 VH-3/VH-60: Fuel Systems Upgrade development efforts will conclude in 4Q FY11 instead of 2Q FY12. Service Life Assessment Program will conclude in 4Q FY11 instead of 4Q FY12.
