HH-60H
The SH-60 Sea Hawk is a medium lift, twin-engine, utility and assault helicopter used for anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, drug interdiction, communications relay, medical evacuation, vertical replenishment, anti-ship warfare, cargo lift, and special operations. It is a derivative of proven UH-60 helicopter and is based aboard Carriers, Amphibious Assault Ships, Cruisers, Destroyers and Frigates. For the Anti-Submarine Warfare role the SH-60 deploys sonobouys and torpedoes. It extends ship's detection range for Anti-Surface (against other ships) warfare. The helicopter has a crew of 4, two pilot, an airborne tactical officer and a sensor operator. The tactical officer is responsible for tactical situation deciding what asset will be used to prosecute a target and handling the coordination with other assets on scene. The sensor operator is an enlisted sailor who operates the radar an magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) equipment, interprets acoustic data and performs search and rescue as rescue swimmer. The HH-60H was designed to meet the US Navy combat support requirements. It is able to carry out a wide variety of missions, but typically it is employed for combat search and rescue and special operations. Sikorsky Aircraft delivered 42 HH-60J Jayhawk helicopters to the United States Coast Guard to conduct search and rescue (SAR), offshore law enforcement, drug interdiction, aids to navigation and environmental protection missions. In April 2005, Sikorsky was selected to upgrade the Jayhawk fleet to a new configuration designated as the MH-60T under Integrated Deepwater program. The MH-60T Jayhawk is a new designation introduced in 2007 for the US Coast Guard HH-60J helicopters.
