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.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $35.9M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $56.4M as actual total obligation authority — $20.5M above the request. 56.4 − 35.9 = 20.5 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — Utility Helicopter Mods
Utility Helicopter Mods include modifications to the UH-60 Black Hawk and the UH-72 Lakota helicopters. The UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter is the Army's utility helicopter for the near and midterm force. It is a twin engine, single rotor, four bladed utility helicopters used for air assault, general support, command & control, and aero-medical evacuations (MEDEVAC). The UH-60 is joint force capable, providing 24 hour/day support including operations at night and in adverse weather conditions. The UH-60 is designed to carry a crew of four plus eleven combat equipped troops or an external load up to 9,000 pounds. The UH-60 Black Hawk was fielded in 1978 as a replacement for the UH-1. From 1978 to 1988, UH-60As were produced. In 1989 production of UH-60Ls with improved engines and drive train began. In 2007, full rate production of UH-60Ms began which provided a digital cockpit, digital Flight Management System (FMS), improved engine, and wide-cord main rotor blades. The UH-72 Lakota helicopter provides general aviation support for aviation units in the active and reserve components.
Justification
Justification — Utility Helicopter Mods
FY 2026 Base dollars in the amount of $33.659M, will procure and install Survivability Upgrade, Upturned Exhaust Systems (UES), along with installing Mission Equipment, 60kVA Generators, for the UH-60M Fleet. The Upturned Exhaust System (UES) enhancements provide Survivability, Safety, Reliability, Maintainability, and reduced Weight improvement over the legacy UES design. It also provides the following benefits: Substantial reductions in IR signature to counter emerging threats; Common hardware across all H-60 platforms; and 100% organic reparability. The UH-60L/M/V 60kVA Generator provides additional power for future systems such as Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM), Degraded Visual Environment (DVE), and the Future Waveform Radio. FY 2025 to FY 2026 funding decrease of Utility Helicopter Mods is due to the procurement of less kits.
