Description

Mission — Other Helicopter Development

This Program Element includes funding for the development support for improvements to current systems for CH/MH-53. The H-53 is the premier heavy lift helicopter for the Marine Corps and the only operational airborne mine sweeping platform for the Navy. H-53 RDT&E efforts focus on trade studies and risk reduction measures to identify candidate survivability, safety, avionics, cargo handling, cockpit and other airframe specific improvements to extend the service life.

Mission — CH/MH-53

The H-53 helicopter is the premier heavy lift helicopter for the Marine Corps and the only operational airborne mine sweeping platform for the Navy. H-53 efforts will continue to develop and qualify components, prior to production and approval decisions, in order to replace obsolete system components. Emphasis will be placed on safety/readiness/supportability improvement modifications that will sustain the H-53 aircraft until the transition of the H-53K is complete. These efforts combined, will significantly improve the readiness of the H-53 fleet while reducing long term operational and supportability costs. Survivability efforts to address improved situational awareness to pilots. Modeling and simulation will be used to the maximum practical extent throughout this effort. Manned Flight Simulator will be utilized to develop, install and test interim modifications, while maintaining the original basic system footprint and functionality. As a part of this effort, a complete Electro Magnetic Vulnerability assessment will be required for the affected and/or modified systems.
