MH-XX

Abstract

The MH-XX project directs Naval Aviation developmental activities in support of the replacement of the Navy H-60 series helicopters, multi-mission medium lift helicopter capability, in the 2030+ timeframe. These aircraft will be used extensively to protect Joint assets from airborne, surface, and sub-surface threats. Other supported mission areas will include Combat Search and Rescue, Naval Special Warfare, Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief, Logistics, and Medical Evacuation. Specific developmental activities will include: capability requirements definition documentation, and approval; support to the Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstrator (JMR TD) and Joint Future Vertical Lift including Common Systems Integrated Product Team leadership, open hardware and software reference and objective architectures definition, common hardware prototyping efforts, mission system interoperability, and shipboard compatibility; Analysis of Alternatives planning and execution; and associated affordability studies. These activities will result in completion of all pre-system acquisition documentation required for a Material Development Decision in first quarter FY 2017. These efforts will enable timely development of a system which provides best value to the Joint Warfighter and Naval Aviation while maintaining effective and efficient war fighting capability in support of the Navy's 30-year Aviation Plan. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ADVANCED COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPES because it includes efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative models or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
