Congressional Adds

Abstract

The MH-60 Service Life Analysis Program (SLAP) is assessing the primary aircraft structure and subsystem condition of the MH-60S fleet in order to assess the airframe's ability to meet its designed service life of 10,000 hours and to determine what efforts are necessary to extend the aircraft design life limits to allow it to meet Chief of Naval Operations operational inventory requirements through FY 2035. Without SLAP, aircraft are retired from the USN inventory when design service life limits are reached directly impacting fleet anti-surface warfare, mine countermeasures, search and rescue, and vertical replenishment operational capabilities. FY 2019 Congressional Add funds analysis and development of the 401D engine; the procurement of MH-60 alignment, tail cone, and pylon fixtures to support SLAP analysis, development of engineering technical data, drawings/models and associated lists from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) in support of SLAP deep look inspections. FY 2020 Non-Recurring Engineering Congressional Add funds the 401D Software Development Analysis; Phase II of the Product Life Cycle Management; the procurement of additional Automatic Wiring Analyzer equipment for identifying Tired Wiring solutions; Drawings/models and associated lists from the OEM in support of additional SLAP deep look inspections; stand-up the Fatigue Life Analysis (FLA) logical follow-on contract to capture flight test data to re-analyze focus areas identified by FLA; development of the MH-60S Block 1 to Block 3 Conversion Kit; and transition section analysis.
