The purpose of this effort is to provide a follow-on effort to analytical engineering studies to provide a design to re-engineer the current Enhanced Fuel Quantity Indicator (EFQI) that is currently implemented on the HH-60 Pavehawk.  Critical components of the EFQI are obsolete and due to changes in technology, they are no longer manufacturable, making the EFQI unsupportable.  This effort addresses those concerns through the development of a Technical Data Package, containing the necessary design, engineering, manufacturing, testing, and quality assurance and a Prototype of a re-engineered EFQI.   This program will focus specifically on the HH-60 EFQI.
