MH-47 Modifications and Upgrades, Program Number 830

Abstract

This specialized aircraft for these missions must be capable of worldwide rapid deployment and operations in contested or anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) environments in support of Multi-Domain Operations. Develops technologies to improve the performance and safety of the MH-47G and decrease operational costs. Efforts include the Active Parallel Actuator Subsystem (APAS), weight reduction, and performance improvement developments. This program also includes modifications to Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) and weapons systems to counter rapidly emerging threats and enhance aircraft self-protection. The MH-47G aircraft is USSOCOM’s only heavy assault platform and provides long-range, high speed, all weather, and resupply of SOF teams in hostile, denied, and politically sensitive areas that allows the Joint Force to be more agile and responsive to combat missions, Irregular Warfare and Military Operations Other than War (MOOTW) as stated in the 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS).
