UH-1N Replacement Program

Abstract

The UH-1N Replacement program will replace the Air Force fleet of UH-1N aircraft with modern helicopters that will close significant mission capability gaps associated with the current fleet of UH-1N aircraft. The replacement aircraft will provide vertical airlift and support the requirements of five Air Force major commands and operating agencies: Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), Air Force District of Washington, Air Education and Training Command, Pacific Air Forces, and Air Force Materiel Command. AFGSC is the Air Force lead command and operational capability requirements sponsor. This program is an element of the Air Force's nuclear enterprise reform initiatives. Program provides continued funding for four aircraft for test, support equipment, training devices, Type I training and courseware, non-developmental integration and associated government activities. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver UH-1N Replacement Program weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605898F, and 0605833F. FY19 RDT&E funding provides incremental funding for four aircraft for test, support equipment, training, along with NDI integration and associated government activities. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes integration efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
