Other Helicopter Development

Abstract

This Program Element includes funding for the development support for improvements to current systems for CH/MH-53 and new development of Attack and Utility Replacement Aircraft (AURA) capability. The H-53 is the premier heavy lift helicopter for the Marine Corps and the 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. AURA is a Joint Department initiative to address vertical lift capability requirements and determine feasible and affordable solutions in support of the Joint Warfighter.
