Doctrine versus Capabilities: A Project Manager's Dilemma with the CH-47 Helicopter.

Abstract

This report examines an existing dilemma facing the CH-47 Modernization PM. The dilemma is the conflict between the tactical doctrine and the CH-47 external load capabilities, including the near term modernized capabilities. The external load limitations are defined and future technology to improve the CH-47 capabilities is identified. Two promising external load carrying concepts are highlighted. The primary recommendation is for the user to question if the external load NOE, all weather, day-night capability is a valid requirement. (Author)
