Proposal Statement
Demonstrate that the Air National Guard (ANG) can accomplish all or a portion of the vital USAF UH-1N helicopter
continuity of government and nuclear missile support missions, and do so at lower cost with the use of modern commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) helicopter.
continuity of government and nuclear missile support missions, and do so at lower cost with the use of modern commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) helicopter.
Recommendation Information
1. National commission on structure of the Air Force recommended the Reserve component take over the UH-1N mission by using
"Pilot programs", citing the ANG security forces unit augmenting active duty security forces at Minot AFB, ND as a model.
Approach will refine requirements, add capability and reduce risk/cost.
2. Adds important new flying mission to the ANG--enduring homeland/domestic operations mission is good fit.
3. As a "Total Force" solution, the new USAF "UN-1N Replacement" program may provide a source for funding.
4. Having the ANG transition to new airframe, then augment the existing force, will ensure no mission capability gap. The ANG unit
could then be expanded, to do more, the entire mission, or left as a mix with the active.
5. COTS helicopters can meet all or most UH-1N requirements at substantially lower cost. Savings over 40 years could be as high as
$5 Billion.
6. ANG has the manpower and can likely do this flying mission at decreased cost over the active duty.
7. UH-1N maintenance is contract. A COTS aircraft transition to ANG Blue Suit maintenance may save cost to.
8. Pilot program could be stood up quickly -- 4 to 6 COTS aircraft, on-site Level D simulator - evaluate over 3/5 years
