The MH-60R Multi-Mission Helicopter (MH-60R) primary mission areas include Anti-Submarine Warfare and Surface Warfare. Secondary mission areas include Search and Rescue, Vertical Replenishment, Naval Surface Fire Support, logistics support, personnel transport, Medical Evacuation, and Very High Frequency/Ultra High Frequency Link Communication Relay. The MH-60R is the central component of the 'Navy Helicopter Master Plan' and the Chief of Naval Operations approved Helicopter Concept of Operations that replaces the aging SH-60B and SH-60F helicopters. The avionics upgrades over the existing SH-60B/F include: a glass cockpit common with the MH-60S; Airborne Low Frequency Sonar (ALFS) as a long-range active dipping sonar; Electronic Support Measures with expanded frequency coverage and location detection; Multi-Mode Radar with long-range search, Automatic Radar Periscope Detection and Discrimination; imaging Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar; Forward Looking Infra-Red for imaging and laser target designation; Commercial Off-The-Shelf Acoustic Processor for acoustic processing for ALFS and sonobuoys; Integrated Self Defense; Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System; and the Mission Planning System. MH-60R sensors and real-time exchange of tactical data with the host ship will bring a new dimension of battle space control to the Naval Commander.
