Einsatzgeschichte |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The U.S. Coast Guard purchased
42 Sikorky HH-60Js. They replaced the Sikorsky HH-3F Pelican
heli-copters that the Coast Guard had used for over 20 years. The HH-60J
is similar to the HH-3F in many ways, and the assigned missions are the
same. However, the HH-60J has numerous upgrades including a state of the
art electronics package. The HH-60J is lighter, faster and the engines
have more power. It does not, however, have the water landing capability
that the HH-3F had. Though normally stationed ashore, the Jayhawk can be carried aboard some Coast Guard Cutters. The USCG began converting its HH-60Js to MH-60Ts in January 2007. This avionics and capa-bilities upgrade was part of the USCG’s Integrated Deepwater System Program and provided a glass cockpit, an enhanced electro-optic / infrared sensor system as well as a radar sensor system and airborne use of force capability. The MH-60T upgrades began in April 2009 and all 42 aircraft were upgraded by July 2013. |
Die U.S. Coast Guard kaufte 42
Sikorsky HH-60J. Sie ersetzten die Sikorsky HH-3F Pelican-Hub-schrauber, die
die Küstenwache über 20 Jahre lang eingesetzt hatte. Der HH-60J ist dem
HH-3F in vielerlei Hinsicht ähnlich und die zugewiesenen Missionen sind die
gleichen. Der HH-60J verfügt jedoch über zahlreiche Upgrades, darunter ein
hochmodernes Elektronikpaket. Der HH-60J ist leichter, schneller und die
Motoren haben mehr Leistung. Es hat jedoch nicht die Wasserlande-fähigkeit,
die die HH-3F hatte. Obwohl die Jayhawk normalerweise an Land stationiert ist, kann sie an Bord einiger Kutter der Küstenwache genutzt werden. Die USCG begann im Januar 2007 mit der Um-rüstung ihrer HH-60J auf MH-60T. Dieses Avionik- und Leistungsverbesserung war Teil des Integrated Deepwater System Program der USCG und bot ein Glascockpit, ein verbessertes elektrooptisches / Infrarot-Sensorsystem sowie ein Radar Sensorik und Krafteinsatz in der Luft. Die MH-60T Verbesserungen begannen im April 2009 und alle 42 Flugzeuge wurden bis Juli 2013 aufgerüstet. |
