Acquisition of the SH-60R Light Airborne Multipurpose System Mark III Block II Upgrade.

Abstract

The Light Airborne Multipurpose System Mark III (SH-60B) is a computer-integrated, ship and helicopter weapon system that increases the effectiveness of surface combatants by serving as an extension of the sensor and attack systems of the ships to which it is assigned. The Block II Upgrade will greatly enhance helicopter performance in the primary mission areas of anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare. Upon completion of the Block H Upgrade, the helicopter will receive the designation SH-60R. The system is in the engineering and manufacturing development phase of the acquisition process. The SH-60B program office plans to award the low-rate initial production contract for the Block II Upgrade in FY 2000.
