The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description
Mission — Multi-Mission Helicopter Upgrade Dev
This Program Element funds the development and improvement of MH-60R/S systems. The MH-60R provides persistent distributed, integrated, and maneuverable capabilities in the support of the Navy's Fleet Design and Distributed Maritime Operations concepts through its primary missions: Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance & Targeting (ISR&T), Antisubmarine Warfare, Surface Warfare (SUW), Electronic Warfare, Command and Control, and Non-Combat Operations. Secondary missions include: Amphibious Warfare, Air Warfare, Health Services, Fleet Support - Operations, Logistics, and Naval Special Warfare (NSW). Primary missions of the MH-60S include Combat Logistics, SUW, NSW, Combat Search and Rescue, and Airborne Mine Countermeasures. Additional missions include ISR&T, Search and Rescue, Humanitarian Assistance and Defense Support for Civil Authorities.
Mission — MH-60 Development
The MH-60R/S program pursues upgrades and enhancements that pace the rapidly evolving threat and improve safety-of-flight for its pilots and aircrew. These efforts include improvements to existing sensors, network capabilities, weapon systems, avionics, communications, and navigation systems as well as integration of modern precision guided air-to-ground missiles, fixed-forward and crew-served weapons, the Sensor Operator Console, and data-fusion capability. The program is also evaluating Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) and making incremental improvements to various airframe, flight safety, and mission-planning systems. The program will continue development of architecture to support integration of secure, over-the-horizon communications in addition to modern en route navigation and terminal approach systems. MH-60R/S research and development initiatives include the evaluation and validation of the platform's cybersecurity posture and development of federated systems to rapidly field new capabilities. The MH-60R/S program is pursuing capability studies on open hardware and software architectures, avionics, mission systems, and air-vehicle performance. FY 2026 budget request funds the following: 1. System Configuration (SC) capability increases, Modernized Tactical Networks (to include Enhanced Throughput (ET) and Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT) (i.e. mesh networks)), Radar Hardware and Software enhancements in support of Minotaur Family of Systems (MFoS), and Air Vehicle, Mission Systems and Avionics DMSMS solutions, to include MH-60 Displays, Embedded Global Positioning System (GPS)/Inertial Navigation System (INS) (EGI), Radar technical refresh, and Advanced Flight Control Computer (AFCC) obsolescence redesign. 2. Integration of Link 16 Advanced Capabilities, Multi-Functional Information Distribution System (MIDS) Joint Tactical Radio Systems (JTRS) Concurrent Multi Network (CMN)-4, and Tactical Networks (i.e. mesh network) to enable over-the-horizon targeting, enhance target sorting, and serve as a force multiplier in network enabled and long range maritime targeting weapon engagements. 3. DMSMS engineering, replacement part development, and qualification testing for known and forecasted Avionics (Displays), Mission Systems (sensors, i.e. passive detection/modern Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), Air Vehicle systems (AFCC), survivability and other obsolete parts. These DMSMS solutions will provide considerations for cost reduction and improvement in reliability and performance. The obsolescence solutions will align with the Future Capabilities Roadmap to minimize duplication and align the mid-life block upgrade configuration changes with the needed solutions. 4. Radar Hardware and Software refreshment will enable the MH-60R to input into MFoS capabilities. Integrated third-party applications will provide enhanced Battlespace Awareness and enriched over-the-horizon targeting support through improved national and tactical sensor integration via common data exchanges through enhanced Tactical Networks in support of Distributed Maritime Operations concepts. 5. Developmental activities including capability studies, interoperability studies, and open hardware and software architectures definition in support of MH-60 mid-life block upgrades. 6. Continued development and integration of the MH-60 Collaborative Mission Planning Continuum (CMPC). 7. Continued development of federated systems that address the rapidly evolving threat environment.
Mission — Congressional Adds
FY 2025 Congressional Capability Upgrade funding of $5.000 million will fund the development, integration and testing of the proliferated Low Earth Orbit (pLEO) Skyhook System and the Kraken 18 Communication Pod as federated systems onto the MH-60.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (1)
Avionics H/W and S/W Development
Development efforts support aircraft integration, problem investigation, lab management and upgrades, and repairs in support of the test program. Individual Avionics and Mission Systems hardware and software upgrades are integrated, tested and fielded as part of an overall MH-60 System Configuration (e.g. SC26, SC28, SC30, etc.). System Configuration fleet releases are planned for every two years to meet fleet requirements, add new capabilities, pace the threat, address obsolescence, and incorporate technology insertion. Avionics hardware and software development and integration efforts include: Pre-planned Product Improvements, new System Configurations, Radar enhancements, the integration of Tactical Data Network modernization efforts, to include enhancements of the network architecture to include MIDS JTRS CMN-4 and TTNT, integration of critical ASE upgrades, cyber evaluations/validations, DMSMS solutions (to include Air Vehicle Systems, Airborne Low Frequency Sonar (ALFS), AFCC, Mission Systems and Avionics with emphasis on displays, Radar upgrades in support of MFoS/Enhanced Data Correlation integration. Prototype efforts support developing carry on/carry off federated system solutions to rapidly address emergent threats.

Related awards
Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →
Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
Lobbying mentions
