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, greatly enhancing combat effectiveness in the primary mission areas of Anti-Submarine Warfare, Electronic 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, naval special warfare, strike warfare, 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 the airborne portion of the Mine Countermeasures Mission Package. 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. FY17 funding for active/passive aircraft survivability equipment Phases II and III were cancelled due to the Distributed Aperture Infrared Countermeasures MH-60 Joint Urgent Operational Needs. FY17 funding will be used for Very High Frequency Omni Ranging (VOR)/Instrument Landing System (ILS) validation/verification integration. FY 2018 budget request funds VOR/ILS, System Configuration 18 and Service Life Assessment Program operational usage spectrum update to support fatigue life assessment of MH-60R aircraft structure and subsystem conditions. FY 2018 budget request also funds developmental activities including capability studies, open hardware and software architectures definition; avionics, mission system, air vehicle kinematic performance, and interoperability studies; and associated affordability studies in support of MH-60 Mid-Life Upgrade planning.

- Change Summary Explanation
- FY 2018 increase of $1.257M for an Usage Spectrum Update, Mid-Life Upgrade Studies, and System Configuration 18 testing activities that were not funded in the previous President's Budget. Reprogramming decrease in FY 2016 of $1.030M due to cancellation of Active/Passive Aircraft Survivability efforts. Schedule: Very High Frequency Omni Ranging/Instrument Landing System schedule delayed due to availability of personnel and changes to scope of the development effort. Technical: Commencing in FY 2017, this Program Element 0604216N, Project Unit 1707, changes from MH-60R Development to MH-60 Development to encompass both MH-60R and MH-60S activities.
