Combat Rescue Helicopter

Abstract

The Combat Rescue Helicopter (CRH) program, formerly referred to as HH-60 Recapitalization, will replace the aging HH-60G. The HH-60G currently supports the Air Force's core function of Personnel Recovery. The primary mission of the HH-60G is to conduct day / night / marginal weather Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) in order to recover downed aircrew or other isolated personnel in hostile or permissive environments. Other mission areas include casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), non-combatant evacuation operations, civil search and rescue, international aid, disaster humanitarian relief, and insertion/extraction of combat forces. Funding will provide acquisition program activities, milestone (MS) document development and test and evaluation activities. Key activities and products include systems engineering strategy and analysis, technology and manufacturing maturity analysis, test and evaluation activities, life cycle cost estimates, sustainment and logistics analysis and configuration studies. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it is conducting Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
