MH-60R Development
Abstract
The primary mission areas of the MH-60R include Anti-Submarine Warfare and Surface Warfare. Secondary mission areas include Search and Rescue, Vertical Replenishment, Naval Surface Fire Support, logistics support, personnel transport and Medical Evacuation. The MH-60R provides direct support to the Carrier Strike Group and provides Link Communications Relay via VHF/UHF, Link-16, and Common Data Link (CDL) with the incorporation of Interface Design Specification Ship Air Upgrade ((SAU)-07-000) full data exchange via CDL. Ku-Band will be provided to DDG-1000, CVN-78 Class and LCS platforms. Aircraft Ship Integrated Secure and Traverse reduces operational requirements aboard ships by eliminating the need for hauldown capability and providing automatic movements for aircraft on deck. The MH-60R is Post-Milestone III; executing Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3I) to Air Vehicle and Mission systems. P3I includes upgrades to communication, navigation, Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), Multi-Spectral Targeting System(MTS)/Forward Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR), Automatic Radar Periscope Detection and Discrimination (ARPDD), weapons, data link, safety, maintenance, airframe and mission planning systems. Identification, Friend or Foe (IFF) Mode 5 Interrogator capability is being embedded into the APS-147 Radar to provide positive determination of friendly combatants beyond visual range. The current magnesium gearbox is being replaced with aluminum gearbox to reduce corrosion and improve total ownership cost.
