Program Narratives

DescriptionMH-60 BLACKHAWK

The United States Special Operations Command through the Army Special Operations Aviation (ARSOA), provides organic aviation support to Special Operations Forces (SOF) for worldwide contingency operations and low-intensity conflicts, and multi-domain operations (MDO) against near-peer threat environments. The ARSOA employs 72 highly specialized MH-60 aircraft capable of worldwide rapid deployment operations and penetration of hostile areas for these missions. The aircraft are capable of operating at extended ranges under adverse weather conditions and harsh environments deep in enemy territory. These aircraft are used to infiltrate, provide logistics for, reinforce, provide close air support, and extract SOF. Year-to-year changes in baseline aircraft configuration received from Army increase costs for SOF-peculiar conversions. The MH-60 program provides ARSOA with a single SOF unique configuration that is common across the fleet to support the SOF ground force commander into the foreseeable future. This P-1 received FY 2025 Congressional add funding for an MH-60M overseas aircraft loss ($22.273 million).

JustificationMH-60 BLACKHAWK

Funds A and B kits, and program support for SOF-unique mission equipment and aircraft components lost in an MH-60M Defensive Armed Penetrator (DAP) Blackhawk battle loss.
