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/S. The MH-60R/S 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 MH-60R mission areas include search and rescue, vertical replenishment, naval surface fire support, logistics support, personnel transport and medical evacuation. The MH-60S Multi-Mission helicopter conducts search and rescue, vertical replenishment, and airhead operations. Armed Helo and Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) were added as primary mission areas for the MH-60S as block upgrades to the platform. AMCM provides the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) the airborne portion of the Mine Countermeasures Mission Package (MCM MP). Armed Helo provides Special Warfare Support, Combat Search and Rescue, Surface Warfare and Maritime Interdiction Operations capability to address FAC/FIAC threat. MH-60S secondary roles include torpedo and drone recovery, noncombatant evacuation operations, and SEAL team and Explosive Ordnance Disposal support. The MH-60R Helicopter Infrared Suppression System (HIRSS) project was cancelled in FY 2015 after an engineering analysis determined that the temperature of the engine exhaust may cause heat damage to the avionics systems in the vicinity of the HIRSS. FY 2016 - FY 2017 funding previously budgeted for HIRSS will now be used to analyze and evaluate active/passive aircraft survivability equipment. FY 2017 budget request funds Very High Frequency Omni Ranging/Instrument Landing System, active/passive aircraft survivability equipment, and SLAP assessment of MH-60R aircraft structure and subsystem conditions as well as MH-60S Fixed Forward Firing Weapons/rockets corrections of deficiencies.
