AMCM Capabilities
• Rapid mine sweeping
– Actuate influence mines (MK-105)
– Sever moored mines from their tether
(MK-103 Mechanical Sweep)
• Mine hunting
– Uses sonar or laser energy to locate,
classify, and identify mines
• Requires follow-on intervention for
disposal

Airframe Sustainment
• BES 08 Funds $20M MH-53E Sustainment line:
Current Force:
• Addresses emergent fleet-wide sub component
obsolescence requirements to bridge OPLAN support
requirements through the 2015 timeframe if required.
• 2 HM Squadrons
• HM-14 in Norfolk, VA
• HM-15 in Corpus Christi, TX
• 28 MH-53E Requirement
• Extends MH-53E Airframe service life limit to 10,000 hours
• Extends current MH-53E airframe inventory to FY15
• Provides sustained AMCM capability during transition to
future MCM systems.

Training
•
Increase TYPEWING focus on unit level AMCM MIW
training and readiness (H-60 ACTC Model)
¾ Develop quarterly AMCM HARP training evolutions in Norfolk
and Corpus Christi ICW AMCM weapons and tactics school
¾ Develop feedback post exercise relationship with MCMRONs
•
Road Ahead:
¾ Establish MIW training ranges located in Fleet concentration
centers
¾ Only standing range located in Panama City
¾ Costly TAD bill for TYCOM
Re-Focus Attention on training like we fight

C7F Exercises
•
AMCM has not operated in C7F AOR since 2001
•
Incorporation of U.S. AMCM capability in C7F AOR
coalition exercises enhances MIW synergy
•
Current coordination effort to deploy MH-53E to AOR
ongoing
16
MH-53E: What has changed since 2005?
• OAMCM
MH-53E
demand evolving beyond AMCM:
Sea Base AR/LSB
• Sea Base CONOPS:
- Heavy Lift•OAMC
ICD approved by JROC
• OIF/GWOT Heavy lift requirements
- ISO 3rd Army in Iraq

Take Away
•
H-53E increasingly high demand - low density platform for
COCOMs
–
GWOT demand exceeds USMC/USA heavy lift capacity
•
Evolving non MIW mission requirements will continue for MH-53E
given GWOT/HADR demand
•
HC-4 Decommissioning removes Navy’s remaining non AMCM
heavy lift response option
–
Limited AMCM assets will now be pressed for non MIW missions
•
Potential impact on core MIW readiness and primary AMCM
response posture
•
Required: Unified Navy understanding of and response to future
RFF for non MIW deployments of the MH-53E

•
New capability for the HSC MH-60S community
•
NAE developing OAMCM training & fielding plan
–
•
CHSCWL is Lead TYPEWING for OAMCM Fleet introduction
Availability of limited OAMCM training systems
critical to orderly stand up of fleet OAMCM capability:
–
Train initial fleet squadron (HSC-26) in preparation for initial LCS
deployment in FY 09 w/ AQS-20 & ALMDS LRIP systems
–
Train remaining five Expeditionary Fleet squadrons to support
continuous LCS deployments beginning in FY10
–
Establish MH-60S East/West FRS training pipeline by FY11
–
Achieve FOC for OAMCM by 2014 once adequate systems and
trained aircrews available to meet warfighting requirements

AMCM Road Ahead
•
•
NAE plan maintains AMCM force structure.
¾
Maintains required HM Readiness Levels to support OPLANS
¾
Funds MH-53E FLEX, Sustainment and Manpower requirements
Introduction of Fleet OAMCM capability begins in 2008
¾ MH-53E transition tied to success of fielding MH-60S OAMCM
•
¾
Timely delivery of fleet OAMCM training systems key to LCS IOC
¾
Steep initial training curve for HSC aircrews prior to LCS deployment
CNAF to examine future force structure for dedicated
AMCM beyond 2013-2015 ISO MIW OPLANs
¾
When do we achieve adequate MH-60S OAMCM capability and capacity?

MH-60S Program Impacts
•
Inventory objective at 267 Aircraft
•
•
•
Updated CNAF Helo CONOPS analysis ongoing
OAMCM removed as a PRIMAR for CVW squadrons
•
OAMCM systems to be organic to the LCS only
•
MH-60S sourced to LCS from Expeditionary HSC squadrons
•
Reduces fleet-wide OAMCM “man-train-and-equip” requirement from
16 to 6 MH-60S squadrons fleet-wide
Reduces procurement ramp for MH-60S OAMCM configuration kits
•
BES 08 fields 29 kits in the FYDP
•
Ramp matches requirement for LCS delivery schedules
•
Total end state requirement is 57aircraft configuration kits

MH-53E FLEX
•
MH-53Es begin reaching their
structural service life limit in FY07
•
Fatigue Life Extension (FLEX) –
extends fatigue life limit of a/c
from 6900 to 10,000 hours
•
Costs $500,000 per a/c ($4M for 16
AMCM aircraft)
•
Limited FLEX (16 a/c) maintains
inventory through FY 15.
•
Allows Navy flexibility in
assessing long term requirement
for MH-53E or HLR
