Block 2.0 initiatives include, but are not limited to, safety, performance restoration, MH-60 engineering changes and product improvements to SO-p equipment, munitions utilized for testing, modifications to Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) and weapons systems designed to counter rapidly emerging threats, improved lethality, and enhanced aircraft self-protection in the Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) environment and against near peer threats. The MH-60M aircraft provides long-range, high speed, all weather, close air support (CAS), precision strike, infiltration (infil), exfiltration (exfil), and resupply of SOF teams in hostile, denied, and politically sensitive areas that allows the Joint Force to be more agile and responsive to combat missions Irregular Warfare and Military Operations Other than War (MOOTW) as stated in the 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS).
