(U)MH-XX

Abstract

The MH-XX project directs developmental activities in support of the replacement of the current inventory of Navy and Marine Corps helicopters in the 2030+ timeframe through the Joint Future Vertical Lift (FVL) family of systems program. Specific developmental activities will include: capability requirements definition, documentation, and approval; support to the Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstrator and Joint Future Vertical Lift, including Common Systems Integrated Product Team leadership, open hardware and software reference and objective architectures definition, mission system interoperability, and shipboard compatibility; Analysis of Alternatives planning and execution; and associated affordability studies. These activities will result in completion of all acquisition documentation required for a Material Development Decision in first quarter FY 2017. Follow-on activities support preparation and execution of efforts to develop common systems reference and objective open architectures, and eventual prototype aircraft flight demonstrations in support of the FVL Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction acquisition phase. Activities and technologies developed also have the potential to be leveraged for sustainment of legacy Navy and Marine Corps helicopters. These efforts will enable timely development of a system which provides best value and capability to the Joint Warfighter while maintaining effective and efficient war fighting capability in support of the Navy/Marine Corps 30-year Aviation Plan. The MH-XX Program has been terminated in FY 2018 and out pending results of the MH-60S Service Life Assessment Program.

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2018
• Source ID: 0604292N_4_1319_PB_2018
• Change Summary Explanation: Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: Due to the termination of MH-XX in FY 2018, the schedule has been updated to remove Analysis of Alternatives, Program Planning and Documentation, and Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction and added the delivery of a Business Metrics White Paper and an Reference Architecture White Paper. The development and delivery of the Business Metrics White Paper will inform future software development efforts. This product will provide guidance for defining and measuring software development progress and will identify key cost metrics to capture and forecast software costs. Additionally, the Reference Architecture White Paper will define key architectural parameters to guide the acquisition of Future Vertical Lift (FVL) capabilities. This effort will establish a common technical framework for capability acquisition, representing an opportunity to align Navy FVL investments and inform investments across the Armed Services.
