Air Anti-Submarine Warfare Systems Program Office (PMA-264) Capt. Gregory Hinkle relieved Capt. Dennis Lloyd in a change of command ceremony on May 30 among family, friends, and co-workers.
The ceremony was presided over by Brig. Gen. David Walsh, program executive officer, Air, Anti-Submarine Warfare, Assault, and Special Mission Programs (PEO (A)).
Recent successful testing of hand-launched deployments of sonobuoys from a CH-53E Super Stallion have expanded the capabilities of the aircraft, providing increased flexibility for the U.S. Navy to support Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) in the joint environment. Similar testing will soon do the same for the CH-53K King Stallion.
The successful deployments of sonobuoys from a heavy lift helicopter showcases the aircraft’s flexibility and the changing payloads the aircraft will take on as the CH-53K replaces the CH-53E in the fleet.
The Air Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Systems Program (PMA-264) was awarded the Department of the Navy Acquisition Excellence Award for Competition Excellence Acquisition Team of the Year in a ceremony held Jan. 10, 2024.
