Blackhawk Product Improvement Program

Abstract

MEDEVAC (Medical Evacuation): Independent of the UH-60V Program of Record and Acquisition Program Baseline (APB), incremental RDT&E funding was utilized to support integration of a MEDEVAC capability on UH-60V in FY 2019-2022 and planned in FY 2024 for Follow-On Test and Evaluation (FOT&E). In accordance with AR 40-60, Medical Materiel Acquisition Policy, the Army's Aeromedical Evacuation capability is funded by two portfolio managers, Program Executive Office for Aviation (PEOAVN) and the Medical Research Development Command, (MRDC). PEOAVN is responsible for the integration of MEDEVAC Mission Equipment Package (MEP) on the UH-60V. MRDC is responsible for recurring costs to procure kits and resource the installation of MEP kits on UH-60V MEDEVAC helicopters. Blackhawk H60M Targeted Modernization: Airframe enhancements for the Improved Turbine Engine (ITE) will be developed and qualified through existing Engineering Services contracts with the H-60M prime Contractor, either in parallel or in sequence with ITE integration into the aircraft. These enhancements are not required to integrate the T901 into the Black Hawk but will allow the platform to fully harness the power of ITE, which increases range and lift capabilities of the aircraft.
