2 Utility Helicopters Readiness Strategy Improve Reliability Improve Sustainability Improve Maintainability Impede Corrosion Simplify Maintenance Attack Cost Drivers 2

3 We Need to Attack Reliability 25.00% 20.00% 20.47% 19.80% Percent Contribution of Top Ten Reliability Drivers 15.00% 13.48% 10.00% 9.82% 8.21% 5.00% 6.76% 6.16% 5.69% 5.04% 4.57% 0.00% Upturned Exhause System (UES) Damper, M/R Head Flight Control Rods Spindle, M/R Head T/R Blade Engine Firewall Spherical Rod End Bearing, M/R Controls M/R Blade Engine Lubrication System TLG Yoke 3

4 We Need to Attack Sustainment Costs 30.00% 28.44% 25.00% 20.00% Percent Contribution of Top Ten Cost Drivers 15.00% 15.41% 13.38% 12.62% 10.00% 5.00% 6.10% 6.01% 5.74% 4.89% 4.10% 3.30% 0.00% Engine Main Rotor Blade Cold section T/R Blade APU Center Box Stab Left hand stab Turbine Rotor Power Turbine Module Main Module 4

5 RAM and Cost Initiatives Single Piece Lightweight Composite Stabilator (LCS) Reduces maintenance burden Estimated 25 lbs. weight reduction Upturned Exhaust System Improved UES with Inconel stacked fairing. Negotiating for development of UES II Main Rotor Spindle New Forcemate bushings prevent migration New -7 Parker Hydraulic Pump Qualification is complete and available through spares 5

6 Modernizing the Fleet Improves Sustainability (Mean Time Between Mission Aborts) UH 60A Latest (60M) RAM Requirement UH 60A to L Recap UH 60M 6 H-60M Production and A to L RECAP keep Blackhawk sustainable. (Mean Time Between Essential Maintenance Actions) Great Partnerships make Great Products Latest (60M) RAM Requirement 0 UH-60A UH-60A to L Recap UH-60M

7 We estimate 90 percent of an aircraft s total ownership cost occurs after delivery. More than 30 percent of that is due to corrosion. Those costs escalate as the aircraft ages. - Naval Aviation Center for Rotorcraft Advancement (2013)

8 UH-60 Corrosion Prevention Improvements Transmission Gel gaskets/shims Similar to AvDec-type antenna gel gaskets, but non-conductive Gaskets Sandwiched between mag gearbox and FC rods Replaceable aluminum shims on feet and FC attachment HVOF Chrome Plate Replacement Already on: main/tail landing gear, some FC servo rods Superior corrosion and wear properties over chrome plate Depot standing up repair capabilities TAGNITE Magnesium Anodizing Superior anodized coating compared to current Hex- chrome hazardous coating Includes 18 other Magnesium castings (all) in addition to MGB $2.5k price increase for production

9 MGB Housing Improvements Add aluminum shims to mounting feet and control attachment locations (already a depot ORI) Removes water trapping pockets

10 Enhanced Scheduled Maintenance 2 (ESM 2) Increase number of flight hours before PMI cycle by 33%. Provides an additional 240 FH per Phase Maintenance Cycle Decrease MMH/FH by 17% a savings of 0.47 MMH/FH Decrease of 140 PMI 1 s annually across the Fleet Decrease of 143 PMI 2 s annually across the Fleet Annual reduction of 133,007 MMH. Produces a MMH annual cost savings fleet wide: Military $4,921,259 or Contract Labor $6,223,398 savings due to reduced PMIs Combined Teaming Effort Approved by Sikorsky Engineering and AED Parts costs savings. Ft Campbell AFMD, estimates PMI parts cost is $62, per PMI. Which equates to $17,794, annual savings for the non-conduct of 287 PMIs Total Savings 20 year fleet aircraft life cycle savings of 2,660,140 MMH 20 year cost savings at military OSMIS MMH labor rate = $98,425, year cost savings at Contractor MMH Labor rate = $124,467, year cost saving for parts = $355,880, Reduction of Soldier Burden, Decreased Cost, Increased Availability, More OPTEMPO
