USAF Made KPP Change To Keep CSAR-X On Schedule
A key performance parameter (KPP) for the CSAR-X program was changed at a key review stage by U.S. Air Force Special Operations officials in order to keep Boeing's HH-47 in the competition.

Such an important change would have required close scrutiny by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC). However officials made the move as an administrative -- or relatively minor -- change, which required no such close review.

The requirement was modified to specify that the CSAR-X be "flight ready" within three hours from reassembly. The HH-47 made that requirement just under the wire.
