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 and Armed Helo.
