MH-60 SLAP

Abstract

The MH-60 Service Life Assessment Program (SLAP) is assessing the primary aircraft structure and subsystem condition of the MH-60S fleet in order to determine what efforts are necessary to extend the aircraft design life limits to allow it to meet Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) operational inventory requirements through FY 2035. The goal of the MH-60S SLAP program is to identify critical structures, components, and subsystems that can achieve the extended service life limit goals. The current life limits for the MH-60S is 10,000 hours, however, a full scale fatigue test was never conducted and therefore, the MH-60S is in an on-condition state requiring additional structural inspections beginning at 6,500 hours.
