This program budget activity funds improvements to the CH-47F System that include the transition from individual Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to a CH-47F Block II program of record. Engineering/Manufacturing Design (EMD) contract awarded July 2017. EMD phase will produce three production representative test articles to support a Milestone C decision in 4th quarter FY 2021.
