Multi-Mssn Helicopter Upgrade Dev

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 threat response capabilities. Secondary mission areas include search and rescue, vertical replenishment, naval surface fire support, logistics support, personnel transport and medical evacuation. FY 2016 budget request funds advanced precision kill weapon system, ILS, integration of MIDS-LVT BU2 into the MH-60R, and helicopter infrared suppression system efforts. Efforts include product development, government engineering, integrated logistics support, modeling and simulation and developmental and operational testing.
