B -- H-60 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL COMPUTER ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT AND TEST SOL N00019-96-G-0023 POC Kathy Mattson, Air-2.3.2.4, (301) 757-5255 E-MAIL: mattsonk.jfk@navair.navy.mil, mattsonk.jfk@navair.navy.mil. The Naval Air Systems Command intends to issue a study order under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-96-G-0023 with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, 6900 Main Street, Stratford, CT to investigate the feasibility and develop and test Automatic Flight Control Computer (AFCC) flight control algorithms in order to achieve an automatic approach and departure performance profile and to develop a configuration identification unique to the SH-60R without an AFCC hardware change. The present AFCC H-60 configuration capabilities will be retained and unaffected. The final product of this effort will be the modification of three government furnished equipment AFCCs. Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the sole designer and producer of the H-60 aircraft and alone possesses the knowledge, data and experienced personnel required to accomplish this effort within the time-frame required by the Fleet.
