CSAR HH-60 Recapitalization
Abstract
The HH-60 Recapitalization (Recap) acquisition program is designed to replace the Air Force HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter with a new aircraft to perform Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR). The primary mission of HH-60G Recap will be to recover isolated personnel (IP) from hostile or denied territory. Rescue forces may also conduct other missions inherent in their capabilities to conduct Personnel Recovery (PR), such as non-conventional assisted recovery, non-combatant evacuation operations, civil search and rescue, international aid, emergency medical evacuation, disaster/humanitarian relief, and insertion/extraction of combat forces. HH-60 Recap will address current HH-60G capability shortfalls in survivability, adverse weather capability, mission equipment, avionics human factors, and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) interoperability. 654364 – HH-60 Recap RDT&E: Funding is needed, but not limited to, efforts to procure a Government Off The Shelf/Contractor Off the Shelf (GOTS/COTS) aircraft modified with mission equipment to perform the CSAR mission. There will be a required effort to integrate mature subsystems and the associated software development. The mature subsystem integration and software development will include human systems integration, advanced communication/net ready, and improved survivability among others. Two production-representative test aircraft will be procured. 657001 - Avionics Development and Integration: This effort is an OSD-mandated program to fund a fully-integrated avionics upgrade that includes predictive terrain awareness and traffic collision avoidance warnings for all currently fielded Air Force helicopters. HH-60 Recapitalization is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production
