MH-139A Grey Wolf Helicopter Gets First Full-Rate Order for ICBM Security
The U.S. Air Force has placed its first full-rate production order for the Boeing MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopter, authorizing the procurement of four aircraft under the program's transition out of low-rate initial production. The MH-139A is designed to replace the aging UH-1N Huey in the nuclear security mission, providing support for intercontinental ballistic missile sites. Janes reporting confirms the order, which represents the program's entry into sustained production following developmental and operational testing.
