## What project 674365 buys

Air Force District of Washington (AFDW) Development effort involves modifying 2 of the 26 HH-60W aircraft to meet the AFDW mission requirements. Modifications include possible removal of components including, but not limited to Rescue Team Seat, Isolated Personnel Litter, Gun System, Chaff/Flare Buckets, and Doors/Floor Armor. In addition, this effort may include, but not limited to, the following modifications to the baseline HH-60W ARC 210 Gen 6 radios, Infrared Countermeasure (IRCM) system, and alternate seating arrangement. Funding Supports Training Systems, Support Equipment, Initial Spares, Operation Site Activation, Program Support Costs (PSC) activities, Other Government Costs (OGC), repair and technical support services, various studies and analysis, upgrades, future HH-60W planning activities, and resolution of Diminishing Manufacturing Sources/Material Shortages (DMSMS) and/or obsolescence issues. Funding may be used to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues. DMSMS activities may include, but are not limited to, bridge buys, life of type buys, buys to protect production schedule, and engineering efforts for redesign. This program element included all necessary expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, and 0605898F.

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
