PMA-276 translates Marine Corps requirements into safe, effective, and supportable weapon systems for the Marine Light/Attack Helicopter community. PMA-276 manages the cradle-to-grave procurement, development, support, fielding and disposal of Marine Corps rotary wing close air support, anti-armor, armed escort, armed/visual reconnaissance and fire support systems.

​

The H-1 program office of PMA-276 is staffed with Marine Corps service members working with government civilians and contractors on the UH-1Y Venom and AH-1Z Viper, which support ground troops with attack and utility lift missions. Since H-1 aircraft are still in production, current requirements must provide the capabilities necessary for warfighters to perform their mission. And as the H-1 reaches full production capability, new requirements must also be taken into consideration and integrated into the program.

​

HTii provides onsite and offsite support to PMA-276 through requirements management, Systems

Engineering Development & Implementation Center (SEDIC) checklist tailoring and in-service

engineering support.

​

For requirements management, HTii implements, configures and manages IBM’s Dynamic Object-

Oriented Requirements System (DOORS) database in adherence to AIR-4.1 guidance. Utilizing

DOORS, HTii provides the program office in-depth, comprehensive management of past and

current requirements along with the ability to incorporate and trace new requirements as they are

developed.

​

For SEDIC checklists, HTii provides complete start-to-finish management of checklist tailoring and

scoring that drastically reduces the time program personnel need to spend on these vital but

arduous processes.

​

And for engineering support, HTii defines, designs and implements better tools and processes to

support in-service engineering efforts. The goal of HTii is to provide our customers with an inte-

grated picture of H-1 requirements that will allow senior decision-makers to make well-informed

design decisions that maximize the aircraft’s warfighting capabilities and minimize the risk to the young men and women who fly and maintain it all over the world.
