The following subsections describe the exterior and interior arrangements of the aircraft.

1.4.1 Exterior Arrangement

The exterior arrangement of the aircraft is shown in Figure 1-3. Also shown are thelocations ofthe aircraft antennas.

There are two data link antennas: one forward and one aft on the underside of the aircraft. The search radar antenna

is also located on the underside of the aircraft. Other antennas (UHF/VHF, HF, radar altimeter, TACAN, ESM,

sonobuoy receivers, Doppler, ADF, IFF, and GPS) are located at various points on the helicopter (Figure 1-3).

The left inboard, left outboard, and right weapon pylons accommodate BRU--14/A weapon/stores racks. Fittings for

torpedo parachute release lanyards are located on the fuselage aft of each weapon pylon. Effective on BuNo 162349

and subsequent, the left and right inboard pylons have wiring and tubing provisions for auxiliary fuel tanks. All

pylons have wiring provisions to accommodate the Mk 50 torpedo. A FLIR turret may be mounted on the right hand

pylon or nose mounted bracket. The left outboard weapon pylon can accommodate an M299 Launcher and up to four

AGM--114 Hellfire missiles, or M36E1 CATMs.

The magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) towed body and reeling machine are mounted on a faired structure that

extends from the forward tail--cone transition section on the right side of the aircraft. It is positioned above and aft

of the right weapon pylon.

The sonobuoy launcher is located on the left side of the aircraft, above the left weapon pylon. The sonobuoy launcher

is loaded from ground level outside the aircraft. Sonobuoys are pneumatically launched laterally to the left of the

aircraft.

The airborne RAST system main probe and external cargo hook are on the bottom fuselage centerline, just aft of the

main rotor centerline.

Fuel service connections, for both gravity and pressure refueling, are located on the left side of the aircraft, aft of the

weapon pylons. Dual--engine waterwash is manifolded from a single--point selector valve connector on the left side

of the aircraft above the window of the sensor operator (SO). A connector to service the sonobuoy launcher nitrogen

bottle is located next to the waterwash connector.

The long strokes of both main and tail wheel oleos are designed to dissipatehigh--sink--rate landing energy. Axleand

high--point tiedowns are provided at each main gear. Fuselage attachments are provided above the tail gear for

connection to the RAST tail--guide winch system allowing aircraft maneuvering and straightening aboard ship and

1.4.2 Interior Arrangement

Figure 1-4 shows thecockpit and cabin arrangement. Hinged doors on each sideofthecockpit providenormalaccess

to and from that station. A sliding door on the right side of the fuselage provides access to and from the cabin. The

primary emergency escape routes are:

1. Pilot, right--hand jettisonable window.

2. ATO, left--hand jettisonable window.

3. SO, left--hand jettisonable window.

4. Instructor/passenger, jettisonable cabin door window.

The SO console (Figure 1-4) is located in the cabin, as well as provisions for a removable instructor/passenger seat,

a passenger seat, and a litter.

Figure 1-5 shows a diagram of the pilot compartment. The ATO station is located on the left side of the aircraft

cockpit. It is equipped with, or offers access to, a full complement of aircraft flight controls and instruments.

Figure 1-8 illustrates the pilot and ATO instrument panel.

The overhead console (Figure 1-6), located above the pilot and ATO stations, contains aircraft system control panels

involving circuit breakers, console/instrument light controls, external light controls, fire--extinguisher controls,

engine controls, and several miscellaneous controls. The lower console (Figure 1-7) is located in the cockpit between

the pilot and ATO stations. It contains the ATO avionics, AFCS, and communications controls. The lower console is

accessible by either the ATO or the pilot.

The ATO keyset (Figure 1-7) is located on the lower console. The multipurpose display (MPD) is located on the

instrument panel between the ATO flight instrument panel and a caution/advisory panel (Figure 1-8).

The collective on the ATO side telescopes to allow improved cockpit ingress and egress. In addition, locations are

provided in the cabin for two fire extinguishers, two first aid kits, two canteens, a crash ax, a map case, and a backup

messenger kit.

The cabin is arranged with the SO station on the left, facing forward (Figure 1-4). Most of the components of the

avionics system are physically located in the SO console rack, situated aft of the ATO seat, and in the mission avionics

rack (MAR), situated aft of the pilot seat. Figure 1-9 shows the location of the individual panels on the SO console

and the SO keyset. The SO console contains the necessary controls and indicators for the SO to perform the missions

of surface warfare (SUW) and undersea warfare (USW).

To the right of the SO station seat is a seat which accommodates an instructor or a passenger. The primary passenger

seat is in the instructor seat position during single passenger flights. The hoist controls and hover--trim panel are

located adjacent to the cabin door. The cargo hook hatch is located forward of the RAST probe housing.

MISSION OVERVIEW

LAMPS is the acronym for light airborne multipurpose system. The SH--60B helicopter is configured specifically

in response to the LAMPS requirement of the U.S. Navy. The LAMPS MK III system has been designed to the Navy

sea control mission. In fulfilling the mission, LAMPS MK III will encounter a threat that has many dimensions. The

threat encompasses a hostile submarine fleet and missile--equipped surface ships. The system extends the search and

attack capabilities of LAMPS MK III configured destroyer, frigate, and cruiser platforms, deploying helicopters

directly from these ships.

Theprimary missions oftheLAMPS MK III arethose ofSUW and USW. Aircraft prior to BuNo 162349 arecapable

of theantiship surveillanceand targeting (ASST) and USW roles only. Effectivewith BuNo 162349 and subsequent,

LAMPS MK III Block I aircraft equipped with the FLIR Hellfire system can be used in traditional SUW attack roles.

Secondary missions include search and rescue (SAR), medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), vertical replenishment

(VERTREP), naval surface fire support (NSFS), and communications relay (COMREL). Each of the primary and

secondary missions will be discussed in the following subsections.

1.5.1 Primary Missions

In a USW mission, the aircraft is deployed from the parent ship to classify, localize, and possibly attack a suspected

threat that has been detected by the shipboard towed--array sonar, hull--mounted sonar, or by other internal or external

sources.

When used in an SUW mission, the aircraft provides a mobile, elevated platform for observing, identifying, and

localizing threat platforms beyond the parent shipboard radarand/or electronicsupport measure(ESM) horizon. When

a suspected threat is detected, classification and targeting data are provided to the parent ship via the data link for

surface--to--surface weapon engagement. Hellfire missile equipped aircraft may conduct independent or coordinated

attack, dependent upon the threat and tactical scenario. Refer to NTRP 3--22.4--SH60B for further explanation of

USW and SUW missions.

1.5.2 Secondary Missions

In the VERTREP mission, the aircraft is able to transfer material and personnel between ships, or between ship and

shore. Refer to Chapter 9.

In the SAR mission, the aircraft is designed to search for and locate a particular target/object/ship or plane and to

rescue personnel using the rescue hoist. Refer to SAR Manual (NWP 3--50 Series), JCS 3--50, SAR TACAID

A1--SARBA--TAC--000. Refer to Chapter 9.

In the MEDEVAC mission, the aircraft provides for the medical evacuation of ambulatory and litterbound patients.

In the COMREL mission, the aircraft serves as a receiver and transmitter relay station for over--the--horizon (OTH)

communications between units. Refer to Chapter 15.

In the NSFS mission, the aircraft provides a platform for spotting and controlling naval gunfire from either the parent

ship or other units. Refer to NTTP 3--22.5--ASW.

Systems

2.1

POWERPLANT SYSTEMS AND RELATED SYSTEMS

2.1.1 Engine

The T700-GE-401C engine (Figure 2-1) is a front-drive, turboshaft engine. It consists of five sections: inlet,

compressor, combustor, turbine, and exhaust. The engine incorporates an integral waterwash manifold, inlet particle

separator (IPS), a top--mounted accessory section, an engine--driven fuel boost pump, a hydro--mechanical control

unit (HMU), an improved digital electronic control unit (DECU), a self--contained lubrication system, engine

condition monitoring and diagnostics provisions.

2.1.1.1 Inlet Section

The inlet section includes the inlet cowling, swirl frame, front frame, main frame, accessory section, and scroll case.

The waterwash manifold is an integral part of the swirl frame, which aims a series of jets into the compressor inlet

area.

2.1.1.2 Inlet Air Flow

Ambient air first passes through the inlet cowling, the inside of which can be heated with fifth stage bleed air via the

inlet anti--ice valve, to prevent ice from forming on the engine inlet. The inlet fairing is also perforated with small

slits, to allow fifth stage bleed air to heat the exposed inlet surface for anti--icing purposes. Next, the intake airflow

passes through the swirl vanes, which impart rotation to the airflow. The swirl vanes are hollow to permit passage

of fifth stage bleed air via the engine anti--ice valve for anti--icing purposes.

2.1.1.3 Inlet Particle Separator

The Inlet Particle Separator (IPS) (Figure 2-2) prevents foreign particles from entering the compressor. The rotation

of the airflow, imparted by the swirl vanes, causes the particles to be thrown outward into the collection scroll. Prior

to being dumped overboard through the blower assembly, the IPS discharge airflow passes over the scroll vanes,

which are contained in the collection scroll.

Clean air, free of foreign particles, then passes through the de--swirl vanes, which remove the rotation imparted by

the IPS, providing smooth airflow to the compressor.

2.1.1.4 Compressor Section

The compressor section consists of a five--stage axial and a single--stage centrifugal rotor/stator assembly.

2.1.1.5 Combustion Section

The combustion section consists of a flow--through, annular combustion chamber, two igniters, and 12 fuel injectors

that receive fuel via the Overspeed and Drain Valve (ODV), supplying atomized fuel for combustion.

2.1.1.6 Gas--Generator Turbine

The N_g turbine drives the compressor and accessory gearbox (AGB). It is a two--stage, air--cooled, high--performance

axial design.
