OVERVIEW
l CSAR Weapon Systemsl CSAR Commitmentsl Rescue Force Structurel CAF Modernizationl Analysis of Alternatives
CSAR WEAPON SYSTEMS
HH-60G
HC/MC-130
Pararescuemen (PJ)
CSAR COMMITMENTS
l Operations NORTHERN WATCH (ONW) andSOUTHERN WATCH (OSW)
l ACC fills 80% of on-going CSAR recoveryplatform commitments– 10% AFRC/ANG; 10% AFSOC
l CAF CSAR is a High Demand / Low Density(HDLD) Asset
CSAR COMMITMENTS
l OPERATION ALLIED FORCE– Two rescues performed by AFSOC– Pickups accomplished by MH-60G
– AFSOC no longer has MH-60Gs– CAF continued to maintain CSAR alert in ONW & OSW– CSAR became an AFSOC, ACC, AFRC
combined effort mid-way through Allied Forcel AFSOC is Phasing out their MH-53

FORCE STRUCTURE
l ACC Focus has been on fixing force structurel Bought H-60s from AFSOC; WC-130s from AFRCl On going: AFRC mission swap
– 939th Rescue Wing, Portland, OR, converts toan air-refueling wing 4QT FY02
– CSAR assets (8 HH-60, 5 HC-130) are an activeforce-structure gain to ACC
CAF MODERNIZATION
l Self Protection System (SPS)l Block 152 Upgrade & 486 NAV System CDU upgradel 701 engine retrofitl HAVECSAR - HH-60 RTIC, T1 Mod, 3 deployed to
ONW, 3 will be deployed to OSWl SLEP funding for 20 older HH-60s (10 Now Funded)l 241 Radar Upgrades – HC-130l Analysis Of Alternatives - replacement HH-60
HH-60 SERVICE LIFE

ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES(AoA)
l Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) - $1.5M/18 Month Effortl IOC - FY 2007l AoA force level analysis should take Peacetime CSAR
operations into account– It may have the largest impact on force structure– Space shuttle support should not be considered a
required capability (JROCM 005-99)
AoA OBJECTIVES
l Identify best Combat Rescue concept (2010-2030)l Update required mission capabilitiesl Document mission area deficienciesl Examine nonmaterial and systems solutionsl Identify and baseline most cost effective solution(s)l Set size and distribution of next generation force
AoA REQUIRED CAPABILITY
l High service lifel Low threat susceptibilityl Tactical adverse-weather penetrationl High combat radiusl Improved situation awarenessl High payload spacel Low reaction time
AoA INITIAL OPTIONS

STATUS OF AoA – DEC 00
l Studies completed– Historical Operational Review– Rescue / Tanker Demand– Terminal Area / Payload Analysis– Force Structure– Possible Acquisition Strategies– Costs Analysis
STATUS OF AoA
l Ongoing– Modeling and Simulation
– Survivability / Vulnerability– Excursions
– Cost– Force Structure– Mixed Fleet– M&S Scenarios
l Will determine best optionl Decision by Mar 01
SUMMARY
l CAF CSAR forces (including AFRC, ANG) will beprimary recovery assets in the future– Best trained and prepared– We are applying Allied Force lessons learned– In the middle of major force expansion
and modernization– AoA exploring options for the future growth
