MH-139A
Abstract
The MH-139A Grey Wolf will replace the Air Force fleet of UH-1N aircraft, and offers a significant capability increase in areas of speed, range, endurance, payload, and survivability. Currently, funding is available to procure 42 MH-193A helicopters, training devices, and associated support equipment. The replacement aircraft will provide vertical airlift and support the requirements of five Air Force major commands and operating agencies: Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), Air Education and Training Command (AETC), Air Force District of Washington (AFDW), and Air Force Material Command (AFMC). AFGSC is the Air Force lead command and operational capability requirements sponsor. This program is an element of the Air Force's nuclear enterprise reform initiatives. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program's funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, and 0606398F. In FY 2023, $3.542 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2024 $2.750 million is forecast for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
