Requirements

  • Program Management Air (PMA)-261 H-53 Heavy Lift Helicopters is a program office under the Program Executive Officer Air, Assault, ASW & Special Mission Aircraft (PEO(A)). PMA-261 is responsible for multiple H-53 variants including the CH-53E, MH-53E and the CH-53K helicopters. The H-53 assault support missions include the lift and movement of cargo and troops/passengers; the tactical recovery of downed or damaged aircraft; and the lift of heavy, bulky equipment and supplies by external suspension. The In-Service Variants (ISV)(CH-53E, MH-53E, and CH-53K) have numerous modification programs. The aircraft inventories to be modified vary by Operational, Safety, and Improvement Program, depending upon kit modification production lead-time. The CH-53E has a seven blade main rotor and a four-blade canted tail rotor, and is powered by three T64-GE-416/416A/419 turbo shaft engines. The CH-53E is capable of both land and ship based transport of heavy equipment, supplies, and personnel. The MH-53E is similar to the CH-53E with additional capabilities for Airborne Mine Countermeasures, Vertical On-Board Delivery, and Special Missions that require a longer range and more precise navigation than the CH-53E. The CH-53K,is similar to the CH-53E as it is capable of both land and ship based transport of heavy equipment, supplies, and personnel. The overall goals of the modifications are: increased communication and navigation; integrated mechanical diagnostics and condition-based maintenance, propulsion and power; degraded visual environment mitigation; survivability and sustainment initiatives; and fleet operation and safety performance in the H-53 community. The CH-53K is an Acquisition Category (ACAT)1C program in development and Full Rate Production (FRP) with modifications planned during the period of performance of this effort. PMA-261 programs range from the System Development and Demonstration phase to the Operations and Support phase. This Statement of Work (SOW) supports foreign and domestic products on behalf of the United States Marine Corps and/or the United States Navy.
