    The document discusses the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter's role as a workhorse in OIF and OEF, the aging fleet, reset and recapitalization programs, and upgrade plans for improved performance and capabilities.

    The fleet is old with some aircraft older than the soldiers flying them. Issues mentioned include lack of situational awareness, power and survivability as well as 17 accidental and combat losses in theater. The operating tempo is about 3 times higher than peacetime levels.

    The Army is working to recapitalize older UH-60A aircraft through the RECAP program to extend service life by 10 years and reduce maintenance costs by 20%. An acquisition strategy is laid out to upgrade aircraft to the UH-60M configuration with improved engines, avionics, flight controls and other systems.

    Armys Work Horse In OIF


    Bottom Line: Aircraft is workhorse of OIF and OEF
    280 Aircraft in Theater as of 5 Feb 07 Hours flown - 3X greater than peace time Harsh environment (sand/dust, FOD, heat, wind)

    Combat Operations
    17 accidental & combat losses in Theater since initiation of operations Issues - lack of situational awareness, power, survivability

    As of 15 APRIL 2007 Fleet Cumulative Totals: 1,481,716 Hours Army Theater Cumulative Totals: 461,076 Hours MC: 87% OPTEMPO: 42.9 Army Theater Current Info: 214 of 223 ACFT reported 11,724 hours MC: 88% OPTEMPO: 54.7

    Fleet is old (bulk of fleet is older than soldiers flying in them!)


    Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) for UH60A-to-A RECAP aircraft: 193 Total UH-60A Inductions, to date: 95 of 193 Fully-Funded to RECAP 20 aircraft in FY2007 Adds 10 yrs of service life to the airframe; 20% reduction in maintenance

    RESET
    40% of Aircraft in Theater have been RESET at least once 892 aircraft completed to date at AVG Cost of $0.97M 561 a/c RESET once, 164 a/c twice, and 1 a/c three times A/C returning from OIF are to be RESET within 24 months

    No Other Replacement Strategy exists

    Current OPTEMPO about 3X more than Peacetime

    ATEC Assessment
    Recommended Improvements

    Monitor and ensure AN/ARC-231 Encryption load devices receive Upgraded software to enable easier loading of radios. Enable warm reboot of individual radios and processors and improve overall reliability of radios and systems.

    Improve ergonomics of crew chief seats and redesign harness system to improve ease of ingress and egress of crews.
    Improve NVG lighting to include Red navigation light and IR searchlight. Improve Flight Management System to include more waypoints, routes, Flight plans and provide a one-button target store.
