INITIAL

NAVY TRAINING SYSTEM PLAN

FOR THE

SH-60R MULTI-MISSION

HELICOPTER UPGRADE

JANUARY 2000

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Initial Navy Training System Plan for the SH-60R Multi-Mission Helicopter Upgrade was developed by the Naval Air Systems Command (AIR-3.4.1.1) using the Training Planning Process Methodology. This document provides an early estimate of manpower, personnel, and training requirements to support the employment concepts currently being considered for the SH-60R. It also contains appropriate data required to make accurate decisions and assessments concerning manpower and training alternatives for the SH-60R.

The SH-60R is currently in Phase II (Engineering and Manufacturing Development) of the Weapon System Acquisition Process. The Acquisition Category assigned is ACAT 1C. A Low Rate Initial Production program review is planned for the beginning of Fiscal Year (FY) 00 and a Milestone III Program Decision Meeting for full rate production is planned for first quarter FY03. Initial Operational Capability for the SH-60R is to occur no later than fourth quarter FY02.

The SH-60R program is a mid-life upgrade that will provide critical capability improvements to U.S. Navy H-60 tactical rotary wing aircraft. The SH-60B and SH-60F helicopters will be remanufactured to a new configuration designated SH-60R. The remanufacture process will include concurrent Standard Depot Level Maintenance, Service Life Extension Program modifications, and incorporation of Engineering Change Proposals to reduce life-cycle cost. The avionics upgrade will include a new Multi-Mode Radar, Airborne Low Frequency Dipping Sonar, Electronic Surveillance Measures, Navigation, and Data Handling and Display Subsystems, and integration of Government-Furnished Equipment.

Mission areas for the SH-60R will include, but not be limited to, Undersea Warfare, Anti-Surface Warfare, Area Surveillance and Combat Identification, Naval Surface Fire Support, Search and Rescue, and traditional rotary wing support roles.

The SH-60R training program will consist of initial and follow-on training for operators and maintenance personnel. The contractor began providing SH-60R initial training for Navy test and evaluation personnel in support of Developmental and Operational Tests and continues until the present time. The Navy will provide follow-on training for SH-60R operators and organizational level maintenance technicians beginning in FY02.

Because of the similarity of the SH-60R with the legacy H-60 helicopters, introducing the SH-60R into existing Navy Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadrons-Light, and Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadrons is not expected to change existing manpower levels.

D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. Operational Uses. The SH-60R MMH Upgrade will provide the U.S. Navy with a common air vehicle that will enhance capabilities in both the Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) MK III and carrier-based Undersea Warfare (USW) mission areas.

The primary missions of the SH-60R will be USW and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW). Secondary missions will include Anti-Air Warfare, Search and Rescue (SAR), Vertical Replenishment, Naval Surface Fire Support, Electronic Surveillance Measures (ESM), Amphibious Warfare, Airborne Mine Counter Measures, logistics support, medical evacuation, communications relay, Anti-Surface Surveillance, and Targeting/Intelligence and Warning.

The SH-60R will provide a remote platform for the processing of acoustic and non-acoustic sensor information and the deployment of sonobuoys and torpedoes. Additionally, the aircraft will be designed to employ a legacy Hellfire Launcher and Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensor with an integrated laser designator with the capability to launch and guide Hellfire missiles. The SH-60R will have the capability to detect, classify, and localize submerged submarines utilizing the Airborne Low Frequency Sonar (ALFS) dipping sonar. In near real-time, it will detect and report contact track data, contact classification, contact emission data, location, course, speed, hostile actions, and intent. The SH-60R will also serve as an elevated platform for Radar and ESM to support Penguin missile launches. The aircraft avionics equipment will be designed to interface with the shipboard processing equipment and display unit via an electronic data link.

When operating as part of the LAMPS MK III ship/air weapon system, the ship/helicopter team concept is the primary mode of operation. When operating from the aircraft carrier (or non-suitably equipped surface combatant), or when operations place the helicopter out of data link communications with the ship, the helicopter is capable of independent USW/ASUW detection, redetection, localization, classification, and attack.

2. Foreign Military Sales. There are currently no plans for Foreign Military Sales of the SH-60R helicopter.

E. DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND OPERATIONAL TEST. The Naval Rotary Wing Aircraft Test Squadron located at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, Maryland, will be responsible for and will conduct the Technical Evaluation (TECHEVAL) for the SH-60R. Air Test and Evaluation Squadron One at NAWCAD Patuxent River will conduct Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL) and as such, will be responsible to operationally test the SH-60R Weapon System and determine whether the system can accomplish the LAMPS MK III and carrier-based missions while satisfactorily resolving all critical operational issues. Initial Operational Capability for the SH-60R is to occur no later than fourth quarter Fiscal Year (FY) 02. Table 1 displays the SH-60R Integrated Test Program schedule.

F. AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM/SUBSYSTEM REPLACED. The SH-60R will replace all SH-60B and SH-60B Block I helicopters in the active Navy Helicopter Antisubmarine Light (HSL) squadrons. The SH-60R will also replace all SH-60F and SH-2G helicopters in the active and reserve Navy HSL and Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadrons (HS).

G. DESCRIPTION OF NEW DEVELOPMENT

1. Functional Description. The SH-60R will be a remanufactured SH-60B and SH-60F single main rotor, twin-engine helicopter. The basic H-60 airframe, engines, transmissions, and rotor systems will remain intact but will be enhanced through the Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM), Service Life Extension Program, and Engineering Change Proposal processes. The SH-60R will have a 20-degree tractor-type canted tail rotor, a controllable stabilator, conventional fixed landing gear, an external cargo hook, a rescue hoist, and bomb racks for carrying and launching external stores. In addition, it will be equipped with a flight-rated auxiliary power unit, a sonobuoy-launch system, an anti-ice system, a fire-extinguishing system, an environmental control system, an Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS), updated for ALFS, a single point pressure refueling system, and a helicopter in-flight refueling system. The main rotor blades and tail pylon will be capable of folding for storage.

The SH-60R will be compatible with ships equipped with a Recovery, Assist, Secure, and Traverse (RAST) system. In addition, the helicopter will operate on non-RAST equipped surface combatants and a variety of other air capable naval ships.

a. Avionics. The SH-60R avionics upgrades are intended to provide enhanced mission performance through new or modified avionics. These upgrades will consist of the following additions and modifications:

(1) Radar. A new AN/APS-147 Multi-Mode Radar (MMR) will be installed on the SH-60R. The MMR will provide multiple modes of operation including search, Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging, small target and periscope detection, weather, and navigation modes.

(2) AN/AQS-22 Sonar. The AN/AQS-22 is a state-of-the-art dipping sonar that will be integrated into the SH-60R. The AN/AQS-22 will initially employ the Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Acoustic Processor for acoustic processing. The AN/AQS-22 will provide onboard environmental data acquisition, active acoustic detection, passive acoustic detection and classification, acoustic signal analysis, and underwater communications. Existing sonobuoy capabilities will be enhanced with the addition of concurrent processing modes with multiple processing options. The AN/AQS-22 will consist of a retrievable cable-suspended acoustic transducer, reeling machine, reeling machine control unit, signal processor, and associated interface units.

(3) Signal Processor. A newly developed COTS Acoustic Processor and associated signal processing software will be installed to process acoustic data for the AN/AQS-22 and sonobuoy receivers.

(4) Control and Display Subsystem. The Control and Display Subsystem for the Air Weapons System (AWS) will be greatly improved by the integration of color-active liquid crystal multifunction displays, programmable legend keysets, and an advanced technology display driver with multifunction displays.

(5) Communications Subsystem. The Communications Subsystem will provide intercom links (microphones and headsets) among the crewmembers and provide external communication functions. These external functions include Line-of-Sight Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) communication and Satellite Over-the-Horizon communication. The Communications Subsystem also provides audio routing capabilities based on inputs from other systems, which are integrated through the Communication Subsystem's Audio Management Computer.

(6) Electronic Surveillance Measures Subsystem. The AN/ALQ-210 ESM subsystem will provide rapid threat assessment and passive location to enhance crew survivability and situational awareness. Interface with the shipboard Combat Direction System and the shipboard Electronic Warfare system (AN/SLQ-32) will remain identical to the current LAMPS Block I System, ensuring downward compatibility.

(7) Integrated Mission Processor. As part of the SH-60R integration, the functions currently performed by Digital Data Computer 1 (often referred to as Standard Airborne Computer 1) and the display driving functions of the Converter Multiplexer (SH-60B only) will be combined into a single Weapon Replaceable Assembly (WRA). The mission and display software formerly located in the LAMPS AN/AYK-14 (the Aircraft Operating Program) is installed in the SH-60R Mission Computer (MC) and Flight Mission Computer (FMC). The MC is unique to the SH-60R and controls sensor and tactical displays. The FMC is common with the CH-60S and drives flight displays in the Common Cockpit.

(8) Navigation Subsystem. The Navigation Subsystem will include incorporation of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System data embedded in one hybrid solution, also referred to as Embedded GPS Inertial (EGI) Navigation System. This system will provide precise helicopter state data (position, velocity, acceleration, and time). This basic flight information will be complemented with Long Range Navigation data from a variety of sensors to aid in determining guidance and flight direction queues for the operators. The presentation of this data is accomplished using digital displays, presenting critical flight information with navigation and guidance data in concise, integrated display formats.

(9) Identification Friend or Foe Subsystem. The AN/APX-100 Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Subsystem will provide Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System and MK XII IFF capabilities. The transponder will be controlled by the primary computer using the MIL-STD-1553B Data Bus, thus integrating it into the MMH Operational System Interface (OSI).

(10) Mission Stores Capability. The SH-60R system will have significantly more capability to accept and operate with externally mounted mission stores. As part of the upgrade, the AWS will be modified to include a tailored MIL-STD-1760/MIL-A-8591 stores location. This stores location will support the integration of a variety of stores including FLIR receiver and weapons systems with MIL-STD-1760 interfaces. The integration of avionics subsystems attached at a mission store station will be accomplished by hardware and software contained in the MC and the Programmable Interface Units (PIU). The PIU permits local processing at the stores station for individual stores and permits flexibility in load out. The PIU is being developed independently on the SH-60R program.

(11) Enhanced Operator System Interface. In order to provide a more efficient operator and avionics interaction environment, the AWS OSI has been significantly redesigned for the SH-60R.

(12) Armament Subsystem. The SH-60R will employ a new Armament Subsystem with the capabilities to accommodate the Hellfire (AGM-114B and AGM-114K) and Penguin (AGM-119B) missile systems, along with MK-46, MK-50, and MK-54 torpedoes. The SH-60R will also be able to carry and individually select up to 25 sonobuoys (and other pneumatically launched stores) depending on aircraft mission and configuration.

(13) Integrated Self-Defense. The Integrated Self-Defense (ISD) subsystem will provide threat detection, identification, warning, and countermeasures capabilities. This system is also integrated within the AWS, to provide situational awareness to the aircrew as well as manual, semi-automatic, and/or fully automatic modes of operation to enhance countermeasures effectiveness. The ISD subsystem also provides Missile Detection/Missile Jamming, Radar Warning, Laser Detecting, Countermeasures Dispensing, Self-defense Data Processing, and ISD Control.

(14) Wiring and Cabling. Required modifications in WRAs and their locations throughout the avionics system will result in a significant impact to system wiring and cabling. To provide for future system mission expansion, flexibility, and emerging technologies, all stores station will be wired for a MIL-STD-1760 interface and include a PIU. This interface will provide power and signals (both digital and analog, including video) and a MIL-STD-1553 Data Bus interface definition for store-mounted avionics, and will be adaptable to a wide variety of interface needs.

(15) Avionics Cooling. Changes in mission requirements to spend a much greater percentage of each mission in a low altitude hover require upgraded water, salt, and particle separators to prevent heavily salt laden external ambient air from entering avionics system cooling.

b. Airframe. The airframe modifications listed below will be required as part of the SH-60R Upgrades:

(1) Utility Hydraulic System. A Utility Hydraulic System similar to the one installed on the SH-60F will be incorporated into the SH-60R as an independent system to operate the sonar reeling machine and rescue hoist. It will be mounted on the right rear quarter of the main transmission and consist of a hydraulic pump, reservoir manifold, main transmission oil cooler, and distribution system.

(2) Antennas and External Mounted Equipment. The modifications for SH-60R antennas and external mounted equipment listed below will be required as part of the SH-60R Upgrades:

(a) Multi-Mode Radar Antenna. The new MMR Antenna will be located in the same location as on the SH-60B helicopter. New mounting provisions will be required to provide for tighter alignment accuracy.

(b) Electronic Warfare Support Measures Antennas. The four SH-60R Electronic Warfare Support Measures antennas will be mounted in the same general locations as on the SH-60B helicopter. New mounting provisions are required to provide for tighter alignment accuracy.

(c) Global Positioning System Antenna. A new GPS Antenna will be installed in the same location as the SH-60B antenna.

(d) Missile Warning Sensor Units. The forward Missile Warning Sensors will be relocated to mount in the new forward ESM fairings. The aft Missile Warning Sensors will be installed on the trailing edge of the tail pylon.

(e) Satellite Communications Antenna. The Satellite Communications Antenna will be installed in the location previously occupied by the upper VHF/UHF antenna. The VHF/UHF antenna will be relocated to the starboard side access door.

(f) Dispenser Pods. New installations are required to mount the new AN/ALE-47 Dispenser Pods to optimize their effectiveness with the new advanced expendables. The dispensers will be aimed forward, but also outward and downward.

(g) Laser Detector Sensor Units. New installations will be required for the Laser Detector Sensor (LDS) units. The two forward sensor units will be located near the top aft edge of the pilot and copilot doors. The two aft sensor units will be located in the transition section.

(h) Infrared Countermeasures. The existing provisions on the SH-60B for the installation of the upper and lower Infrared Countermeasure Transmitters will be retained and utilized for the new system installation.

(3) Nose Compartment. The SH-60R Nose Compartment will contain the new Advanced Flight Control Computer (AFCC), Flight Management Computer, EGI, GPS Power Divider, AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Programmer, and the AN/ALE-47 Sequencer. The Visual Information Display System Signal Data Converters, the Stability Augmentation System (SAS) Amplifier, Radar Altimeter Receiver Transmitter, and AFCC test point panel will be retained in the nose compartment.

(4) Instrument Panel. General arrangement of the Instrument Panel will be 60.75 inches wide and is laid out into three distinct sections. These sections are the pilot's flight and mission instruments, Airborne Tactical Officer (ATO) flight and mission instruments, and the back-up/shared instruments in the center of the panel. The wide instrument panel allows for optimized glass size on displays and does not additionally degrade visibility through chin windows. All instruments are Night Vision Goggles (NVG) compatible.

(5) Center Console. The Center Console general arrangement is to use a 39.38-inch long console (STA 211.12-STA 250.50). The ATO installation may implement the FLIR contingency kit installation. The pilot Hand Control Unit installation will have a quick collapsible feature for pilot egress. All control panels will be NVG compatible.

(6) Cabin Floor. All new 300 pound per square foot panels will be employed throughout the cabin area.

(7) Sensor Operator Console. A new Sensor Operator (SO) Console will be installed. The MC, MMR, ESM, Data Link, and other SH-60R units will be installed in the new SO Console. The SO Console will include a flat panel display surrounded by various system control panels. These will include a new reeling machine control panel, a radar control panel, radio and intercom control panels, an ISD control panel, and SO keyset. Located above the display will be KY-58 or KY-100 speech security equipment and Hand Control Unit.

(8) Sonobuoy Launcher. A pneumatic sonobuoy launcher will be installed in the SH-60R. It will be located approximately three inches outboard to allow for space required by other cabin installations. This will require a redesigned rack for supporting the launcher and a fairing for the external portion of the launcher.

(9) AN/AQS-22 Sonar Equipment Rack. The AN/AQS-22 Sonar Equipment will be installed in a new rack located along the forward starboard cabin wall. The equipment in the rack will include the Sonar Transmitter/Receiver, Acoustic Processor, Power Hardover Unit, and two 4-channel sonobuoy receiver WRAs.

(10) AN/AQS-22 Sonar Reeling Machine and Pedestal. The pedestal structure and reeling machine will be located in the aft section of the cabin and rotated off centerline to the starboard side. The AN/AQS-22 Sonar Reeling Machine receives hydraulic power from the utility hydraulic pump system that must be installed in the SH-60R.

(11) AN/AQS-22 Sonar Funnel and Transducer Housing. A funnel assembly will be mounted in the existing cargo hook cavity and will serve as a guide for the lowering and raising of the ALFS transducer. When the funnel and sonar transducer are installed, the cargo hook will be removed. The transducer housing will attach directly to the funnel assembly preventing any of the environmental hazards associated with the dipping sonar from entering the cabin.

(12) Passenger and Observer Seats. A passenger seat will be located against the starboard cabin wall forward of the cabin door. Provisions for an observer seat will be located adjacent to the SO seat and forward of the AN/AQS-22 Sonar Reeling Machine. New floor panels will have a provision for a complement of passenger seats for a transport mission. A jettisonable access panel over the sonobuoy launcher aperture will allow for additional egress during this secondary mission.

(13) Alternate Mission Cabin Arrangements. The proposed cabin arrangements for the SH-60R provide greatly enhanced mission flexibility. All racks and support structures with the exception of the SO console (i.e., sonobuoy launcher, ALFS rack, funnel, transducer housing, reeling machine, and pedestal) will have the capability to be readily removed to allow for easier reconfiguration. All other mission capabilities such as MMR, ESM, Data Link, etc., are available for all SH-60R missions.

(14) Extended Weapons Pylon. An Extended Weapons Pylon will be added to the right side of the SH-60R. These weapons pylons will use the BRU-14/A bomb rack for all external stores, including Penguin Missile, MK-46, MK-50, and MK-54 torpedoes, the 120-gallon auxiliary fuel tank, the SLAM/Walleye Data Link Pod, and the M299 Hellfire missile launcher.

(15) Integrated Mechanical Diagnostics. The SH-60R will incorporate an onboard Integrated Mechanical Diagnostics (IMD) system for airborne and ground helicopter health usage monitoring.

(16) Night Vision Goggles Capability. The SH-60R will be fully NVG compatible. This capability will be a carry-over from the CH-60S common cockpit design.

3. New Development Introduction. The SH-60R will be introduced to the U.S. Navy as a remanufactured SH-60B and SH-60F helicopter.

4. Significant Interfaces. The SH-60R cockpit and communication and navigation equipment package will be common with the U.S. Navy CH-60S helicopter. The two platforms will share existing support infrastructure, (i.e., technical publications, support equipment, training pipelines, Training Devices (TD), spares) to the maximum extent to avoid further requirements for support infrastructure. The Combat Direction System software, which provides the data processing necessary to support the shipboard tactical command and control functions for the SH-60R, does not require updating for the new capabilities provided by the SH-60R upgrades. The ISAR image data control function is a coordinated manual function between the AWS and LAMPS Ship Segment operators.

5. New Features, Configurations, or Material. The systems comprising the SH-60R helicopter do not drive a technological breakthrough, but utilize state-of-the-art hardware and data processing technology. The SH-60R community will utilize the Automated Maintenance Environment (AME) system. AME integrates off-aircraft diagnostics with computer-aided maintenance techniques for maintaining naval aviation electronic, mechanical, and structural equipment. AME integrates a computer-aided maintenance system built on the existing Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS) for organizational level maintenance activities, the standard Naval aviation maintenance data collection and business process system. AME system key elements are:

a. Automated Debrief Capability. The Automated Debrief Capability links expert system diagnostics, Built-In Test data via the SH-60R Data Storage Unit, and pilot and/or maintainer observations to generate more precise maintenance task information for fault isolation and repair.

b. Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals. Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM) provide users with maintenance information including fault reporting for isolation and repair. IETMs will provide task instruction with pertinent graphics, based on the discrepancies identified in the Automated Debrief. IETMs will provide technical manuals that offer equivalent or better functionality than paper in a medium easier to manage at the fleet user level. In addition, IETMs will reduce publication and training, production, and distribution costs. IETMs should reduce maintenance repair time through integration with NALCOMIS, addition of electronic logbook capabilities, insertion of expert systems modules, and incorporation of IMD technology.

c. Portable Electronic Display Device. The Portable Electronic Display Device (PEDD) will be used to present the IETMs maintenance task information to the user at the work site (the aircraft). The PEDD is initially connected to the NALCOMIS network to receive both the discrepancy data derived from the debrief, as well as the maintenance information to perform the task. The PEDD is then disconnected from the network and taken to the job site where the configuration-sensitive IETMs work package is displayed to guide the technician through the repair, and at the same time collect data related to the repair process (i.e., tasks performed, times, and parts removed and installed). The PEDD is then reconnected to the network to upload the work status including the automatic completion of the Maintenance Action Form.

H. CONCEPTS

1. Operational Concept. A crew of three, comprised of two Pilots and one Naval Aircrewman will operate the SH-60R. One Pilot will control the operation of the helicopter, and the other Pilot, called the ATO, will conduct the mission. The Aircrewman will operate the radar and acoustic systems. A second Aircrewman will be added to perform as a rescue swimmer during SAR and other missions as needed. The SH-60R will operate in a variety of mission areas that are consistent with operational uses stated in Paragraph D.1. and as outlined in the applicable Required Operational Capability (ROC) and Projected Operational Environment (POE) document.

2. Maintenance Concept. The maintenance concept for the SH-60R is based on three levels of maintenance prescribed in the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program Manual, OPNAVINST 4790.2G: organizational, intermediate, and depot. The SH-60R traditional maintenance concept is in the process of changing to a new methodology of aircraft maintenance. This new method is the Integrated Maintenance Concept (IMC).

a. Integrated Maintenance Concept. IMC is achieved through the application of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) principles that change the focus from a restoration maintenance program, i.e., Aircraft Service Period Adjustment (ASPA) and SDLM, to a preventive maintenance program. This concept will repackage all H-60 Preventive Maintenance (PM) tasks to integrate organizational, intermediate, and depot level maintenance to be performed on-site between deployments.

Organizational level maintenance activities will continue to perform PM while deployed. However, the bulk of the inspections and PM tasks will be performed in port by integrated maintenance teams. The IMC team may include a combination of organic and contractor maintenance personnel. IMC will require depot artisans to be permanently assigned to H-60 home sites. Over a specific period of time, they will perform SDLM-like tasks on aircraft, but with more frequency than the current eight to 11 year SDLM cycle.

IMC will be divided into six stages over six years. The areas of PM for each stage will include:

    • Stage 1 - main rotor pylon and flight controls
    • Stage 2 - main rotor pylon and cabin
    • Stage 3 - main rotor pylon, tail pylon, nose section, and stabilator
    • Stage 4 - main rotor pylon; cabin, and flight controls
    • Stage 5 - main rotor pylon, transition section, and tail cone
    • Stage 6 - main rotor pylon, cabin, and strip and paint aircraft

The criteria for H-60 helicopters entering IMC is that the aircraft must be in good material condition prior to acceptance, then IMC maintains that good material condition. During the transition from ASPA/SDLM/RCM to IMC, it is necessary to perform restoration maintenance on aircraft in poor material condition. To do this, we rely on the present SDLM program and the Service Tour Extension Process (STEP).

b. Service Tour Extension Process. The STEP program is an in-service inspection and repair process that is designed to improve the material condition of the aircraft such that the aircraft will not need a SDLM prior to induction into the SH-60R remanufacture program. The STEP requirement is focused on the restoration of the airframe structure, flight controls, fixed provisions, and wiring. It will also include an exterior paint condition assessment. The decision to strip and paint the aircraft will be made once the assessment is completed.

c. Enhanced Material Condition Inspection. Enhanced Material Condition Inspection (EMCI) is required for all aircraft undergoing STEP, including initial re-evaluation and annual structural inspection until they are remanufactured into the SH-60R configuration. The inspection will be used to gather data that will be analyzed to assess an Operation Service Period (OSP) for future STEP aircraft and will also support RCM analysis. The OSP of STEP aircraft is initially estimated to be six years but will be adjusted up or down depending on the results of the initial EMCI. The EMCI program will also be used to determine the appropriate time for the aircraft to enter the SH-60R remanufacture program.

3. Manning Concept. Based on a cursory analysis of the operator and maintainer tasks expected to be associated with the SH-60R and its equipment, these tasks have been determined to be within the capabilities of the Navy's existing enlisted rating and officer Navy Officer Billet Classification (NOBC) structures. As a result, it is estimated that no new enlisted ratings or NOBCs will be required to support the SH-60R. As such, the operator and maintainer manpower for the SH-60R will come from existing Navy HSL and HS squadron manpower with no increase in end strength anticipated.

a. Estimated Maintenance Man-Hours per Flight Hour. Operator requirements for SH-60R pilots and enlisted aircrewmen are based on the crew ratio and seat factors found in the applicable ROC/POE documents for activities scheduled to receive the SH-60R. The Maintenance Man-Hours Per Flight Hour (MMH/FH) used to estimate the SH-60R enlisted organizational level maintenance manpower requirements are based on historical data taken from the SH-60B, SH-60F, and HH-60H aircraft. This is due to the lack of precise equipment design parameters for the equipment and systems that will be installed in the SH-60R helicopter. Table 3 is a comparison of the MMH/FH by work center from the existing HH-60H, SH-60B, and SH-60F helicopters to the SH-60R.

b. Recommended Qualitative and Quantitative Manpower Requirements

(1) Qualitative Manpower Requirements. Introduction of the SH-60R into existing HSL and HS activities will generate the need for new Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) codes for the SH-60R Enlisted Aircrewman and Aviation Electronics Technicians (AT). A new additional qualification designation code will be necessary to identify SH-60R pilots.

Existing HSL squadrons currently have SH-60B helicopters and HS squadrons have SH-60F helicopters assigned. The SH-60R will replace both of these helicopters. Because of the common aircraft (SH-60R) that the HSL and HS communities will share, a new common NEC will be required to identify SH-60R Aircrewmen. This new NEC will merge the Aircrewman NEC for the HS and HSL communities. Table 4 displays the current H-60 Enlisted Aircrewman NEC structure along with the proposed SH-60R enlisted aircrew NEC structure.

Because of the differences in the avionics suites of the SH-60B, SH-60F, HH-60H, and the emerging CH-60S, there are currently three types (qualities) of H-60 ATs.

    • SH-60B aircraft NEC 8376/8876
    • SH-60F/HH-60H aircraft NEC 8378/8878
    • CH-60S aircraft (pending) NEC 83XX/88XX

Two new NECs (hereafter referred to as 88XX/83XX) will be required to identify SH-60R Electronics Systems Organizational Level Maintenance Technicians (Initial/Career) as a result of the even greater differences in the avionics suite of the SH-60R and to separate and identify the type training an individual has achieved. The other ratings (i.e., Aviation Electrician's Mate (AE), Aviation Structural Mechanic (Hydraulics) (AMH), Aviation Structural Mechanic (Structures) (AMS), Aviation Machinist's Mate (AD), and Aviation Ordnanceman (AO)) will not require new NECs. Their associated systems are very similar to the legacy H-60 helicopters. As a result, once trained, they will be awarded the existing NEC of 8878 (Initial) and 8378 (Career). Intermediate level H-60 NECs will remain unchanged. Tables 5, 6, and 7 display the current H-60 maintenance NEC structure along with the proposed CH-60S and SH-60R maintenance NEC structures.

(2) Quantitative Manpower Requirements. Based on analysis performed by NAVAIRSYSCOM (AIR 3.4.1.1), the introduction of the SH-60R into existing HSL and HS activities is not expected to change existing manpower levels. Refer to the applicable HSL and HS squadron Activity Manpower Documents for information on SH-60R manpower.

(3) Fleet Introduction Team. The H-60R/S Fleet Introduction Team (FIT) has been established at Naval Air Station (NAS) North Island, California. The primary purpose of the FIT will be to function as the joint Type Commander single point of contact for all fleet introduction issues. The FIT will also coordinate fleet inputs and provide guidance to program offices, manage operations, Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) Model Manager, Fleet Readiness Squadron (FRS) Curriculum Model Manager, maintenance, supply, and training initiatives. The H-60R/S FIT has unique Unit Identification Codes (55628 PAC and 32409 LANT) and reports directly to Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, and is additional duty to Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet.

4. Training Concept. The SH-60R Training Program will consist of initial and follow-on training for operators and maintenance personnel. The contractor will provide initial operator and maintenance training for Navy Test and Evaluation Personnel in support of DT and OT. The contractor will also develop and conduct initial training for Naval Air Maintenance Training Group (NAMTG) instructors, FRS instructors, and an initial cadre of Fleet personnel. SH-60R follow-on training will be provided through existing courses that have been modified to include SH-60R data as well as new courses that will have to be developed.

The established training concept for most aviation maintenance training divides "A" school courses into two segments called Core and Strand, and many organizational level "C" school courses into separate Initial and Career training courses. "A" school Core courses include general knowledge and skills training for the particular rating, while "A" school Strand courses focus on more specialized training requirements for that rating and specific aircraft or equipment, based on the student's fleet activity destination. Strand training immediately follows Core training and is part of the "A" school. Upon completion of Core and Strand "A" school, graduates attend the appropriate Initial "C" school for additional specific training. Initial "C" school training is intended for students in paygrades E-4 and below. Career "C" school training is provided to personnel E-5 and above, to enhance skills and knowledge within their field.

a. Initial Training. Lockheed Martin Corporation has been contracted to develop the training products to support SH-60R DT and OT. The SH-60R DT and OT training process has been divided into two segments for Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD)-I and EMD-II. The intent of both the Navy and its contractors is to use an iterative process to produce and update materials and learning devices. Thus, materials developed for EMD-I would serve as source data for EMD-II training materials, and EMD-II training materials will be updated for fleet Initial Cadre training.

(1) EMD-I Training. The courses listed below will be required to support SH-60R EMD-I DT and OT. This training will focus on the training of test and evaluation personnel. The training dates are keyed to system software releases with training being conducted 4-6 weeks after each release.

b. Follow-On Training. HSL-41 NAS North Island will provide follow-on training for the SH-60R operators beginning in FY02. HSL-40 Naval Station (NS) Mayport, Florida, will begin to provide follow-on training for SH-60R operators starting in FY05. Additionally, HS-10 NAS North Island will provide follow-on training for the SH-60R at a yet to be determined date.

NAMTG Detachment Maintenance Training Units (MTU) 1066 at NS Mayport, and MTU 1022 at NAS North Island, will provide follow-on maintenance training for SH-60R maintenance technicians beginning in FY03.

(1) Operator. Operator training for the SH-60R can be broken into two phases, FRS and Post-FRS Training, and two types Pilot/ATO and Aircrew training. Helicopter crew positions for the SH-60R will be carried over from the SH-60B, with the pilot and ATO occupying the right and left seats and the SO in the aft crew compartment. Because the crew positions and general responsibilities remain the same from the SH-60B, the basic training structure from the SH-60B will be applicable for the SH-60R.

Mission Qualification Requirements Continuum (MQRC) for the SH-60B and SH-60F were recently completed. This MQRC assessed tactics, related tasks, and skills at a high level and determined at what time in the Pilot/ATO/SO instructional progression each task should be trained. This progression was divided into the five levels outlined in Table 9 below.

Because of the added capabilities and complexities of the SH-60R, a structured post-graduate training program is essential. A formalized post-graduate training program will allow for greater standardization of and an increased emphasis on tactical employment and improved coordinated operations, and will provide a forum for development of new and advanced tactics. In addition, with the development of a formalized curriculum for post-graduate training, the FRS curriculum can be restructured to better conform to the structure delineated in the SH-60B and SH-60F MQRC. This tailoring of the FRS curriculum would allow for more emphasis on basic flight and tactical performance in the FRS and would delay the more advanced and perishable training until 300/400 Level post-graduate training.

HSL-41 and HSL-40 currently provide SH-60B operator training. Currently, SH-60F and HH-60H operator training are provided by HS-10. HSL-41 will transition to the SH-60R beginning in FY02 and will become the single site FRS for the SH-60R (in addition to SH-60B training) until FY05. Beginning in FY05, HSL-40 will transition to the SH-60R and will assume the role of single site FRS for the SH-60B (in addition to SH-60R training). HS-10 will transition to the SH-60R in FY05 with their RFT date yet to be determined. HS-10 will continue to train SH-60F/HH-60H operators.

The training concept that will be employed for SH-60R operators (both Pilots and Enlisted Aircrewmen) is one that will ensure HSL-41, HSL-40, and HS-10 teach the same "common" SH-60R courses. The premise is that an "HS" SH-60R Pilot or Aircrewman could receive his or her training at HSL-40 or HSL-41, and, likewise, an "HSL" SH-60R Pilot or Aircrewman could receive his or her training at HS-10.

(a) Fleet Readiness Squadron. FRS training will provide instruction to first tour operators along with second and subsequent tour operators requiring refresher training. This training will cover SH-60R specific systems, emergency procedures, flight maneuvers, and initial and refresher tactics training, and will consist of both cognitive and practical training. Table 10 provides the high level training tasks for the SH-60R and the amount of variance between the existing SH-60B and the SH-60R systems and capabilities:

(b) Cognitive Training. Academic training will be included in the FRS curriculum to provide the student with cognitive understanding of the SH-60R, its subsystems, and employment. This training will be based on the training materials developed for DT, OT, and Cadre training under the EMD-II contract. To reduce instructor workload the training should be self-paced, and in order to reduce cost should draw upon the existing SH-60B and CH-60S academic training materials and devices already in use or scheduled for introduction prior to the SH-60R RFT date. Approximately 25 percent of the current SH-60B training materials will be readily transferable to the SH-60R curriculum. Specifically, the aircraft's engines, hydraulic, and rotor systems will remain unchanged. In addition, all CH-60S training that addresses cockpit controls and instrumentation will be transferable. The CH-60S operator courseware currently under development is being authored to the same format as the current SH-60B courseware. It is anticipated that this format will be retained for the SH-60R FRS Computer-Based Training (CBT) to facilitate reuse.

(c) Practical Training. Hands-on training employing a variety of different TDs will be included in the FRS curriculum to provide the students with practical and psychomotor training. The fidelity of these devices will increase as the student's knowledge and skills develop, advancing the student from the cognitive knowledge gained through academic lessons through full crew coordination necessary to safely operate the SH-60R in a tactical environment.

(d) Keyset Display Trainer. A TD will be required to train both Pilots/ATO and SOs. This device will permit individual training on simulations or replicas of the Pilot/ATO and SO keysets and displays. It will provide individualized instruction and immediate student feedback, and will be tied into the Computer-Managed Instruction (CMI) network. This device is designated at the Keyset Part Task Trainer (PTT) and is an extension of the CH-60S PTT. It will consist of a keyset mockup linked to a computer monitor with a mockup of the aircraft display. Simulated bezels will be installed around the edges of the monitor to replicate the bezels on the aircraft displays. Flight computer and mission computer functions will be replicated and an interactive tutorial feature will be incorporated. In addition to the PTTs installed at the FRS (with keysets), numerous copies of the software for use with a standard Personal Computer and no keysets will be available for refresher training.

(e) Flight Trainers. A flight trainer is required that will provide the student pilots initial SH-60R flight operations training in a safe and controllable environment. This trainer should consist of a full size replica of the aircraft cockpit with motion cueing, and a day-night visual system. The device should have student stations for the Pilot and Co-pilot/ATO, and should be operable with or without an instructor. The Instructor station should be positioned such that it will allow the instructor to observe the actions of both students, monitor the flight instruments and visual system displays, while manipulating the instructor console. In addition, this device should be linked to an independently operable debrief station that tracks aircraft status, environment, student flight control inputs, and internal and external communications. Specific tasks to be trained in this device will include cockpit familiarization, checklist procedures, take-off and landings, flight maneuvers, Visual Flight Rules and Instrument Flight Rules navigation, equipment malfunctions, communications, aircrew coordination, and emergency procedures training.

(f) Tactics Trainer. An SO TD will be required for tactical mission training of SOs. This device should replicate the SO station and permit the training of all SO functions for both acoustic and non-acoustic tactical equipment. This trainer should consist of a full size replica of the SO station, and should have positions for the SO and an observer. The instructor's station should allow the instructor to monitor all tactical actions and communication made by the student. This device should be linked to an independently operable debrief station capable of replaying the entire tactical scenario including the acoustic and non-acoustic displays.

A full mission tactical trainer is required for advanced tactical training and to develop crew coordination during tactical missions. This trainer should consist of a full size replica of the aircraft cockpit with motion cueing, and a day-night visual system. The device should have student stations for the Pilot and Co-pilot/ATO, should be capable of linking with either of the SO trainers listed above, and should be able to simulate basic tactical missions without an SO. The instructor's station should allow the instructor to monitor all tactical actions and communication made by the student, and should allow the instructor to role-play the remaining members of the LAMPS MK III team. This device should be linked to an independently operable debrief station capable of replaying the entire tactical scenario including the acoustic and radar displays.

(g) Aircraft. H-60 (aircraft) events will be used to provide the student pilots and SOs with additional SH-60R flight training. This training will include preflight, checklist procedures, take-off and landings, flight maneuvers, navigation, equipment malfunctions, communications, aircrew coordination, and emergency procedures training.

(h) Post-graduate. Post-graduate training will be designed to build upon the FRS training, which shall include both cognitive and practical training, and will lead to higher level qualifications as defined by the MQRC. This post-graduate approach to training is designated by OPNAV as the Aircrew Combat Training Continuum (ACTC). An initial ACTC curriculum is being developed in the SH-60B community and will be reused (and expanded) for the SH-60R. Table 11 lists the high level task and the training level in which additional formalized training will be required.

(i) Proficiency. Proficiency training will be used to maintain required levels of proficiency in all aspects of flight and tactical performance. These formal requirements will be stipulated by the appropriate naval command organizations including but not limited to CNO, AIRLANT and AIRPAC, and HSLWINGLANT and HSLWINGPAC. It will include annual flight and instrument hour minimums, instrument approach requirements, and pre-deployment and readiness qualifications. Proficiency training will be used to maintain NATOPS and Rescue Swimmer qualifications, Instrument Ratings, Deck Landing Qualification (DLQ), night flight hour, Doppler currency, and all other flight related certifications and qualifications required of pilots and aircrewmen. This training will include simulator events and aircraft events, both at-sea and over land, using Department of Defense (DoD) approved airfields and NAVAIDS, and USN DLQ certified ships.

Tactical training will also be included as part of proficiency training. The added capabilities and performance associated with the SH-60R will increase the need for proficiency training at all crew stations. This training will include aircraft and simulator events, the use of tactical ranges, both at-sea and over land, and USN ships, submarines, and aircraft. This training will be used to attain and maintain tactical crew designations and/or qualifications. Although the requirements are formal and are derived from formal instructions the method of attaining and maintaining this proficiency will vary depending on the individual operator's experience and work-up/deployment schedule. The following operator courses are proposed new courses that will include the SH-60R equipment and systems. As a result, not all the required information is available.

(2) Maintainer. SH-60B, SH-60F, and HH-60H enlisted maintenance training is currently provided by NAMTG Detachment MTUs 1005, 1022, and 1066. With the exception of ATs, all enlisted ratings are trained with common courses that are applicable to the SH-60B and SH-60F/HH-60H (CH-60S training is impending). In contrast, there are currently two types of training for the AT rating, SH-60B and SH-60F/HH-60H (CH-60S AT training is impending). SH-60B AT maintenance training is provided by MTUs 1066, and 1022, while SH-60F/HH-60H AT maintenance training is provided by MTUs 1005 and 1022. CH-60S AT training will be provided by MTUs 1066 and 1022.

The addition of the SH-60R helicopter (beginning in FY02) will change the above scenario. NAMTG Detachment MTUs 1005 and 1022 will integrate SH-60R maintenance training for all enlisted ratings, except AT, into the existing common SH-60B and SH-60F/HH-60H, and impending CH-60S courses provided. For the AT rating, a new Initial and Career SH-60R Electronics Systems course will be developed and established at MTUs 1066 and 1022. Furthermore, only two Avionics Maintenance Trainers (AMT) are being procured with planned deliveries to MTUs 1066 and 1022.

Note: With the addition of Initial and Career AT SH-60R Electronics Systems courses, there will be four types of AT H-60 maintenance courses: SH-60B, SH-60F/HH-60H, CH-60S, and SH-60R. As the CH-60S and the SH-60R are introduced into the Fleet and the existing SH-60B, SH-60F, HH-60H aircraft are phased out, the need for SH-60B and SH-60F/HH-60H AT training will diminish. When this training is no longer needed, based on aircraft assets, the corresponding courses can be closed.

All current H-60 organizational level maintenance courses are in the process of integrating CBT with its basic elements of CMI, Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI), Interactive Courseware, and Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System (AMTCS) Electronic Modules, into their curricula for classroom presentation and management. These H-60 courses are expected to be converted to AMTCS format prior to introduction of the SH-60R Curricula.

The new AT courses (i.e., Initial and Career) and the existing H-60 organizational level maintenance courses that will need modification to include the SH-60R equipment and systems are listed below. The addition of SH-60R information to existing courses should pose a moderate impact to the overall course length. As a result, their course lengths may vary from those listed.

I. ONBOARD (IN-SERVICE) TRAINING

1. Proficiency or Other Training Organic to the New Development

a. Aviation Maintenance In-Service Training. Aviation Maintenance In-Service Training (AMIST) is intended to support the Fleet training requirements now satisfied by Maintenance Training Improvement Program and in that sense is the planned replacement. However, it is structured very differently, and will function as an integral part of the new AMTCS that will replace the existing aviation maintenance training structure. AMIST will provide standardized instruction to bridge the training gaps between initial and career training. With the implementation of AMIST, the technician will be provided the training required to maintain a level of proficiency necessary to effectively perform the required tasks to reflect a career progression.

AMTCS redesigns the aviation training process (training continuum), and introduces CBT throughout the Navy technical training process. The application and adoption of recent advances in computer hardware and software technology have enabled CBT with its basic elements of CMI, CAI, and Interactive Courseware to be integrated into the training continuum and provide essential support for standardizing technical training.

The AMTCS Project Plan denotes that NAMTG Detachment MTUs 1005, 1066 and 1022 began the transition to CBT the second quarter FY98 and is estimated to be complete by the third or fourth quarter of FY00. Therefore, it is anticipated that H-60 Maintenance training will be in CBT/CAI format prior to introduction of the SH-60R curriculum. The Naval Aviation Training Systems Program Office (PMA205) will develop a separate CH-60S/SH-60R CBT that will be incorporated into the existing H-60 CBT. This CH-60S/SH-60R CBT will be compatible with the legacy H-60 CBT, and be utilized in the AMTCS environment.

b. SH-60R Embedded Training. Embedded Training (ET) uses the aircraft's installed tactical systems for tactical refresher training. Current planning calls for use of the SSQ-89 Onboard Trainer physically located aboard LAMPS ships for USW sonobuoy simulations. Other high-level functions to simulate the transition to ALFS prosecution and USW missions will be developed to support an independent mode. Additional information on the SH-60R ET will be provided in future updates of this document.

2. Personnel Qualification Standard Requirements. Should there be a requirement for SH-60R Personnel Qualifications Standards (PQS) development, contact Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center, PQS Development Group for information concerning the development, production, or printing of PQS documents.

3. Other Onboard or In-Service Training Packages. AD, AE, AMH, AMS, and AO personnel who were previously trained and awarded NECs 8378 or 8878 will retain these NECs for the SH-60R helicopter. These personnel will acquire the sufficient knowledge and skills of the SH-60R systems through the On-the-Job Training process.

3. Technical Data Plan. The SH-60R technical publications will be produced, distributed, and supported in an IETMs format, including software and hardware support. It will support the airframe, mission avionics, engine, and support equipment and be developed with close coordination between Naval Air Technical Data and Engineering Service Command, applicable NAVAIRSYSCOM Field Activities, and Contractor personnel.

4. Test Sets, Tools, and Test Equipment. Since the SH-60R is a derivative of other existing H-60 systems, most of the support equipment required is available in the Government inventory. Newly designed SH-60R avionics systems will be compatible with the Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS) Automatic Test Equipment. All organic test requirements will be organizational level maintenance-to-Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or with CASS

5. Repair Parts. Naval Inventory Control Point (NAVICP) files will be updated to reflect SH-60R applicability on the H-60 common parts. A Parts Difference List will be developed using the H-60 and SH-60R Engineering Gross Requirements List (GRL) and applicable NAVICP data. A comparison of the H-60 and SH-60R GRLs will spike out the items that are peculiar to H-60 only. The contractor will extract these items from the NAVICP data to produce a list of items common to the H-60 for delivery to NAVICP. Support for the Common Cockpit will differ from other components on the SH-60R. The support concept will change to OEM. This will result in the elimination of organic intermediate and depot levels spare and repair part requirements. Organizational level spare requirements, as a result of the change in support concept, will increase. The range of spares will remain unchanged, however, the depth will increase because of increased turnaround time resulting from the time required to ship retrograde non-ready for issue assets back to the Continental United States contractor, then repair the items and return them to the fleet. The Material Support Date for the SH-60R has not been determined yet.

6. Human Systems Integration. The Human Systems Integration (HSI) Plan establishes the basis for effective integration of human factors engineering, manpower, personnel, training, health hazards, and safety considerations into the SH-60R acquisition as outlined in DoD Instruction 5000.2R. The NAVAIRSYSCOM Multi-Mission Helicopter HSI Integrated Project Team is currently working on the draft version of this plan.

K. SCHEDULES

3. Time Required to Install at Operational Sites. NA

4. Foreign Military Sales and Other Source Delivery Schedule. NA

5. Training Device and Technical Training Equipment Delivery Schedule. The SH-60R Training System will provide for both operator and maintainer training requirements. All SH-60R Training Devices will be common to the maximum extent with the current training suites and will provide expansion capabilities to all H-60 trainers. These H-60 TDs will utilize a common weapon system architecture and will comply with DoD directives for networking as applicable in their design. Conversion and delivery of TDs will be phased in through the SH-60R delivery schedule.

a. Operator Training Devices. Operator training will utilize a WST and a T/OFT. These devices will integrate full aircraft weapon system functionality of pilot and aircrew stations, provide a flight fidelity visual system, and simulation of the full range of aircraft missions.

(1) Weapon System Trainer. There are currently eight H-60 WSTs. Four of these are SH-60F trainers and four are SH-60B trainers. Under the current SH-60R (and CH-60S) training concept, these trainers will be fully modified to CH-60S/SH-60R WSTs. Once converted they will feature a full flight fidelity capability. The visual system will include a high fidelity day-night image generator databases, and night vision device compatibility. Full weapon system functionality will be provided, including Forward Looking Infra-Red, Hellfire, Aircraft Survivability Equipment, Navigation, Communication, etc., with the cockpit providing full tactile sensations.

(2) Tactical/Operational Flight Trainer. There are currently two H-60 T/OFTs. Both of these are SH-60B trainers. Under the existing SH-60R (and CH-60) training concept, both trainers will be modified to SH-60R/CH-60 T/OFTs. In addition, two more trainers will be purchased for a total of four. These trainers will be non-motion based flight simulators that support pilot and co-pilot tactics, navigation, equipment malfunction, communications, aircrew coordination, and emergency procedures training as applicable. The visual systems will include a high fidelity day-night image generator, databases, and night vision device compatibility. The T/OFT will improve aviation safety by allowing the aircrew to practice emergency procedures and refine their aircrew coordination skills. Table 13 displays the proposed location of the WSTs and T/OFTs and their estimated RFT dates.

b. Maintenance Training Devices. SH-60R maintenance training will utilize numerous maintenance TDs that are associated with the existing SH-60B, SH-60F, and HH-60H training systems. A newly developed CH-60S/SH-60R AMT will consist of simulated fit, form, and feel Contractor-Furnished Equipment with functionality as required to interface with the electronic classroom and IETMs. An IETM diagnostic capability will be included when determined. The AMT will allow students to perform operational tests utilizing psychomotor skills. The AMT will include simulated hardware, a fault testing program, and an Instructor Operating Station. A growth potential will be inherent in the AMT suite that should allow for an increasing number of aircraft components to report fault data. Table 14 displays the proposed H-60 maintenance TDs that will be modified with an estimate of the degree of modification that they will require.
