Abstract
This Program Element includes funding for the development and support of future systems and improvements to current systems of the MH-60R. The MH-60R Multi-Mission Helicopter provides battle group protection and adds significant capability in coastal littorals and regional conflicts. The MH-60R represents a significant avionics improvement to the H-60 series helicopters by enhancing primary mission areas of Undersea Warfare and Surface Warfare which includes the Fast Attack Craft/Fast In-shore Attack Craft (FAC/FIAC) threat response capabilities. Secondary mission areas include Search and Rescue, Vertical Replenishment, Naval Surface Fire Support, logistics support, personnel transport and Medical Evacuation.

Multiple data points were recorded with no major deficiencies identified. Testing was determined to be incomplete due to the inability of the target to replicate the test specification requirements. A second OT period was conducted in 4th quarter FY 2013. Analysis has been completed and ARPDD achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in January 2014.
