Conducted by the 772nd Test Squadron, the evaluation assessed the aircraft’s electronic warfare systems and avionics in a highly controlled, radio frequency-isolated environment to validate survivability against electromagnetic threats.
The MH-139 Grey Wolf is designed to replace the Air Force’s aging UH-1N Huey fleet, with its primary mission focused on the security and surveillance of the nation’s intercontinental ballistic missile sites.
In addition to its nuclear security role, the aircraft’s greater speed, range and lifting capacity are expected to support distinguished visitor airlift, search and rescue, disaster response, and other priority security and transport missions for Air Force Global Strike Command and other major commands, underscoring its role as a multi-mission platform.
