Aviation News – Boeing has been awarded a new U.S. Air Force contract to produce four additional MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopters and provide sustainment support, underscoring growing momentum behind the program. The award matters as it accelerates delivery of a critical security and support platform for U.S. Air Force missions.
The latest contract follows a $173 million award in September for eight aircraft and brings the total value of recent MH-139A orders to more than $262 million. This marks Boeing’s second production contract for the Grey Wolf in five months, highlighting continued confidence by the U.S. Air Force in the platform and its industrial partners.
The MH-139A Grey Wolf is designed to replace legacy UH-1N helicopters and supports tasks ranging from intercontinental ballistic missile field security to transport and training missions. Built on a modern commercial airframe adapted for military use, the aircraft bolts enhanced speed, range and reliability onto existing rotary-wing operations while reducing sustainment costs.
