VH-71 Executive Helo Development
Abstract
Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) is required to provide safe and timely transportation for the President and Vice President of the United States, heads of state and others as directed by the White House Military Office. Currently two Type, Model, Series aircraft are used by HMX-1 for the Presidential support mission - the VH-3D and the VH-60N. The VH-71 program was the replacement helicopter for the VH-3D and VH-60N. In order for the VH-71 to be available to most effectively assume Presidential vertical lift mission by FY10, two Increments were to be developed. Increment 1 was to provide an initial limited capability to fulfill the immediate need Presidential lift requirement. Three (3) test article aircraft, system design and development efforts (SDD), maintenance trainers, and associated logistics were initiated in 2005 for Increment 1. Included in the SDD contract were five (5) Increment 1 pilot production aircraft to support Initial Operational Capability. Increment 2 was to be developed to complete all of the Presidential support requirements. Two test articles were to be procured in FY09 to accommodate air vehicle structural differences between Increment 1 and 2 (main gear box, drive train, engines, tail unit and main rotor blades). The second test vehicle was to be procured instead of pursuing the planned modifications to one of the Increment 1 test vehicles due to the extent of the air vehicle structural differences. Due to increased cost and schedule growth the Secretary of Defense and Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics)'s USD (AT&L) directed cancellation of the current VH-71 program. The VH-71 contract was cancelled in its entirety for the convenience of the government on 1 June 2009. The VH-71 FY11 funding will be utilized to support the execution of the Secretary of Defense and USD (AT&L) decision to cancel the VH-71 program. The VXX is a follow-on program for the VH-71. An acquisition strategy for the VXX program is being established. Funding includes pre-Milestone (MS) A risk reduction activities, capability based assessments, Concept of Operations development, Analysis of Alternatives, specification development, system concept development and threat analysis in support of the FY10 Material Development Decision. Following a successful MS A decision and entrance into the Technology Development Phase, activities will focus on the proposed material solutions, specifically, reducing technology risk, determining and maturing the appropriate set of technologies and to demonstrate technology on prototypes.
