Other Helicopter Development

Abstract

This Program Element includes funding for the development support for improvements to current systems for CH/MH-53 and development of USMC Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Family of Systems (FoS) formerly 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. VTOL FoS is a USMC initiative to address vertical lift capability requirements and determine feasible and affordable solutions in support of the Warfighter.
