CSAR HH-60 Recapitalization

Abstract

The Combat Rescue Helicopter (CRH) program, formerly referred to as HH-60 Recapitalization, will replace the aging HH-60G. The HH-60G currently supports the Air Force's core function of Personnel Recovery. The primary mission of the HH-60G is to conduct day / night / marginal weather Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) in order to recover downed aircrew or other isolated personnel in hostile or permissive environments. Other mission areas include casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), non-combatant evacuation operations, civil search and rescue, international aid, disaster humanitarian relief, and insertion/extraction of combat forces. Funding Justification: The FY15 President's Budget shows this program having $0 in FY15. Based on the SECAF's decision to continue with the CRH program, the Air Force is committed to fully fund the program to the Air Force SCP in the FY16 Budget. This commitment is dependent upon the Air Force's top line in the FY16 Budget being consistent with the out year funding levels identified in the FY15 President's Budget, which is in excess of the Budget Control Act funding levels. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
