The Swedish Black Hawk history
WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE
• Urgent operational requirement for SE
• Short lead time
• In-service experience necessary
Selection of the Black Hawk (UH-60M)
• Present SE aviation rules not adequate
• Implementation of the Military Type Acceptance, MTA
100 weeks from contract to in-service in Afghanistan!
WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE
Basic evaluation questions before one-sided
acceptance (issue of the MTA)
• Is there a competent AA? – Yes, US Army (AED)
• Do we understand their system? – Yes, after evaluation and document control
• How do we approve the type? – Via MTA (Military Type Acceptance), which imports another
nations approval and oversight
• What does that mean in reality? – Must be operated and maintained according to US manuals
• Config control, how? – Via AW Releases (AWR)
• Any conditions? – No SE-unique solutions allowed without an US AWR
WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE
Time for mutual recognition
Immediate benefits for SE
• Gives better flexibility regarding config
control of UH-60M
• Gives operational advantages during US-
SE cooperation
• Opens up regarding other aviation
equipment
WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE
The MR agreement
• Includes three US Services
• Will be based on the EMAD R and MARQ
• Tools:
– Selfassessment
– Evaluation
– Visits
– Documentation
• Continuation
WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE
SE expected outcome
• Easier handling of operational
cooperation planning
• More reliable configuration control of a/c
and equipment of US origin
• Expanded personal network
• Future potentials for deeper cooperation,
e g the Gripen E engine (GE F414G)
• Maybe also for the C-130?

Staff possess
professional
qualifications,
aeronautical
licences,
certificates or
academic degrees
commensurate with
their job
responsibilities
A minimum of a Bachelors degree from an accredited university in a
science or engineering degree program or similar within the military
system is common for all personal. In special cases a formal degree to
this level can be compensated for with extensive experience in the work
field. Within SE MAA staff several persons have a backgorund as pilots
and licenced engineers mainly within the Swedish Military System but
also from the Civil System. There are also persons with experience from
other Avition Authorities.
To ensure that individuals are sufficiently experienced for the types of
assessments and decisions being made each individual in the
organisation.

Learnings so far
• The template for the Agreement is well adapted
• EMAD mostly AW-oriented
• Ops items requires additional consideration, included in our process
• Some of the EMAD R MARQ questions:
– hard to adequately answer, due to different legal systems and the detailed level
– Not totally adapted to the military aviation system
• Do not change EMAD too often!
WWW.FORSVARSMAKTEN.SE
Overall conclusion
• The recognition process is very positive,
mainly because:
– The exchange of knowledge with a very
competent partner
– The selfassessment leads to learnings
– A better understanding of ”the big picture”
– Necessary with good personal relations
