The Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk is the U.S. Navy's primary helicopter for anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare from cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and aircraft-capable ships. It combines the H-60 airframe with modern sensors, datalinks, weapons, and mission systems.
The MH-60R can deploy dipping sonar, sonobuoys, radar, electronic support measures, torpedoes, missiles, and machine guns depending on mission fit. It extends a ship's sensor and weapons reach, allowing surface combatants to investigate contacts and prosecute submarines beyond their own hull-mounted sensors.
The type is also widely exported, giving partner navies a common maritime helicopter ecosystem. Its importance is not only the airframe; it is the integrated ASW and surface-warfare package that lets many ships act as more capable nodes in a distributed naval force.
