Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January of 1972, a request for proposals, or RFP, was issued to lay out the guidelines for a new utility helicopter to replace the Bell UH-1 Iroquois type. The Huey had served admirably in the Vietnam conflict, but it lacked engine power, was vulnerable to small-arms fire, and was limited in lifting/transporting heavy external payloads. Under the UTTAS (Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System) competition, the new clean-sheet design intended to rectify all of the UH-1's shortcomings, while integrating the latest technology developments in helicopter construction and power-plant design. This new helicopter would be capable of a cruising speed of 167-201mph/145-174kts (269-324km/h) and be able to maintain this speed for a minimum of 2.3 hours. It had to carry an 11-man infantry squad, with all of their gear, in hot temperature/high altitude scenarios. If troops were not to be carried, that same lifting power provided by two engines would instead lift underslung cargo loads, up to a maximum of 8,000 lbs/3629kg. The cargo cabin space had to be able to be converted with a minimum of effort for use in aeromedical evacuation, utility roles or as an infantry assault transport. Illustrated with over 250b/w and color photos.

This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed to replace the UH-1 Iroquis, Sikorsky s UH-60 Black Hawk first entered service in 1979. A four-blade, twin-engine, medium-lift utility helicopter, the UH-60 serves as the U.S. Army s primary tactical transport helicopter. Modified versions include models for the U.S. Navy and Air Force, and specialized versions including the UH-60C (modified for Command and Control missions), EH-60A (electronic systems operations and electronic warfare), and the UH-60Q (medical transport). Two major variants of the Black Hawk currently exist: the UH-60L and UH-60M. The UH-60L incorporates improvements to the basic design that provide more power and lifting capability, as well as automatic flight control. The newer UH-60M features upgraded engines, improved rotor blades, and state-of-the-art flight controls that will allow the helicopter s service life to extend to 2020 and beyond. Over 2500 Black Hawks have been built, and nearly 1000 more are currently on order. Black Hawks have seen combat service for the U.S. Military in Grenada, Panama, Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq. Other nations also employ the UH-60 including Brazil, Colombia, Israel, Mexico, Taiwan, Australia, Japan, and Turkey. Created by Sikorsky and the U.S. Army, this pilot s flight operating manual profiles the UH-60Q Black Hawk. Over 500 pages long, this unclassified document is reprinted here in its entirety."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First introduced in the mid-1980s, the U.S. Navy's Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk helicopter fulfills a wide range of functions from combat to providing relief to populations stricken by natural disasters. Based on the U.S. Army's UH-60 Black Hawk, and developed in accordance with the Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System or LAMPS concept of helicopters that extend the search, detection, surveillance, and attack capabilities of ships, the Seahawk family of Navy choppers is distinguished by its hinged tail that facilitates operations from giant aircraft carriers or diminutive destroyers and frigates. The author introduces you to the SH-60F Ocean Hawk with its AQS-13F dunking sonar for detecting submerged vessels, the HH-60H "Rescue Hawk," that can fly 250 nautical miles from base to perform a rescue and then return to base and which also serves in sea-air-land (SEAL) team operations, the MH-60R "Strikehawk" loaded with sophisticated avionics that facilitate undersea warfare and surface warfare operations in shallow littoral regions as well as deep, blue water ocean environments, and finally the MH-60S "Knighthawk" with its two cabin doors that does everything from aeromedical evacuation and search and rescue to mine countermeasures and special operations transport.

Download or read book Survivability on the Island of Spice written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1983 the UH-60 Blackhawk faced its baptism of fire during Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada. Ten Blackhawks sustained battle damage during the assault, and four were destroyed. This helicopter was the culmination of fourteen years of work that started in 1965. As survivability was one of the design criteria for the Blackhawk, this thesis looked at survivability in context of Operation Urgent Fury. In the end the Blackhawk's performance in Grenada was successful and the Blackhawk was a survivable aircraft in the materiel sense. That being said, the Blackhawk was not survivable when the Army operated outside its own doctrine, tactics, and procedures. Operation Urgent Fury exposed serious shortcomings with the concept of survivability as incorporated into the design of the Blackhawk. The issues of poor intelligence, poor planning, and poor execution contributed to the numerous hits from small arms and anti-aircraft fire that the Blackhawks received, and yet they continued to fly. However it is impossible for any aircraft to repeatedly fly into enemy fire and not take casualties or damage. This is why it is impossible and misleading to separate an aircraft's design for survivability from the doctrine, tactics, techniques, and situations in which it is used. The sound of rotor blades shattered the quiet morning of October 25, 1983 in Grenada as nine UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters spread across the island, delivering Special Forces operators to their objectives. After a power struggle led to the killing of Maurice Bishop, the revolutionary leader of the last four years, the United States military intervened in the tiny island nation. In its first major operation since the end of the Vietnam War, the President of the United States sent the military to rescue American medical students at the St. Georges University. Although significant combat operations were over in the first three days, American forces remained on the island until the middle of December. The operation was a success. All of the American medical students returned safely to the United States, and the pre-revolutionary government of Grenada regained power. Just as the U.S. military was in its first major operation since Vietnam, the Blackhawk helicopter, born directly out of the Army's helicopter experience in Vietnam, saw its first combat in support of Operation Urgent Fury. In 1965 the Army approved the requirements for the Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS), intending it to replace the UH-1 Iroquois (better known as the Huey). Due to the war in Vietnam the Army delayed the UTTAS until the 1970s, and in 1972 issued a request for proposal to the aviation industry. The proposal for the UTTAS called for increased payload and improved maintainability, reliability, survivability, and performance over the UH-1 it was going to replace. After evaluating the initial entries, the Army awarded contracts to Boeing-Vertol and Sikorsky to develop a UTTAS prototype, and in December 1976 the Army selected the Sikorsky design. Three years later Sikorsky delivered the first UH-60 Blackhawk to the Army.

Download or read book Survey of Integrated Logistics Support Planning of the UH-60 Blackhawk written by and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey was conducted of the Army's Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) planning for the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter program to determine whether there were any weaknesses in the Army's planning for the logistics support for the Blackhawk. The Black Hawk helicopter is being developed and produced by Sikorsky Aircraft Division of United Technologies Corporation, and General Electric is providing the engines. The Army has contracted for 71 helicopters during the first 2 years of initial production; through fiscal year 1985, the Army plans to buy 1,107 helicopters. The contracts include about $5.2 million for development and dating of the logistics support analysis (LSA) program. LSA programs developed by Sikorsky and General Electric are not up-to-date. The programs could not be used for determining spare parts and support equipment requirements for the initial support period, and the Army could provide little assurance that the programs would be up-to-date for full scale production provisioning in 1979. The Project Manager's decision to allow Sikorsky to discontinue efforts on LSA in the latter stages of Black Hawk development resulted in the program being incomplete and unusable. The reason General Electric's LSA was incomplete was not determined. The Secretary of Defense should take action to ensure that the Army: (1) increases its monitoring of the LSA program; (2) evaluates the status of LSA programs; and (3) takes necessary action to ensure that the contractors complete the programs on a timely basis.
