H-60

H-60 under the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force budget activity, aims to fund modifications to the HH-60G helicopter. The primary objective of this program is to support the Air Force's core function of Personnel Recovery by conducting Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) missions in various environments. These missions include casualty evacuation, medical evacuation, non-combatant evacuation operations, civil search and rescue, international aid, disaster humanitarian relief, and insertion/extraction of combat forces. Additionally, the program addresses Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues and provides necessary resources for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and military support to civil authorities as mandated by Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act.

The HH-60G helicopter is crucial for the Air Force's Personnel Recovery mission. The program's specific goals include completing the delivery of additional aircraft through the Operational Loss Replacement (OLR) Mission Modification program and moving into sustainment. With 72 aircraft remaining in the inventory as of March 2023, the program also focuses on addressing Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues and providing necessary resources for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and military support to civil authorities as mandated by Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act. Additionally, funding may be used for program management support and Interim Contractor Support in FY24.
