G11A MH-60R Multi Mission Helicopter Aircrewman

Current service use not established

This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.

A Navy Enlisted Classification: a skill designation sailors hold in addition to their rating.

Overview

An MH-60R multi mission helicopter aircrewman operates radar, ESM, IFF, and FLIR systems and interprets sonar and sonobuoy information during varied tactical missions. The aircrewman employs tactics, conducts search and rescue operations, and transfers cargo aboard the MH-60R aircraft.

Core Skills

  • Airborne radar and infrared sensor operation
  • Sonar and sonobuoy data interpretation
  • Helicopter search and rescue operations
  • Cargo transfer during helicopter missions

Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Remote Sensing Technicians

Operating airborne radar and forward-looking infrared sensors provides transferable experience for collecting remotely sensed data.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on GIS project in ESRI ArcGIS software that combines remotely sensed imagery with other geospatial data and checks data accuracy.

What the civilian work involves
  • Collect geospatial data, using technologies such as aerial photography, light and radio wave detection systems, digital satellites, or thermal energy systems.
  • Verify integrity and accuracy of data contained in remote sensing image analysis systems.
  • Integrate remotely sensed data with other geospatial data.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • ESRI ArcGIS software

Aircraft Cargo Handling Supervisors

MH-60R cargo-transfer experience provides a practical connection to aircraft cargo loading, unloading, and securing operations.

How to prepare: Take an aircraft load-planning course covering cargo distribution and center-of-gravity calculations. The verified duties establish cargo-transfer experience, but not load-planning or cargo-crew supervision experience.

What the civilian work involves
  • Determine the quantity and orientation of cargo, and compute an aircraft's center of gravity.
  • Direct ground crews in the loading, unloading, securing, or staging of aircraft cargo or baggage.
  • Distribute cargo to maximize use of space.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Cargo tracking system software
