UH-1N Replacement Program

Abstract

The MH-139 program will replace the Air Force fleet of UH-1N aircraft with modern helicopters that will close significant mission capability gaps associated with the current fleet of UH-1N aircraft. The replacement aircraft will provide vertical airlift and support the requirements of four Air Force major commands and operating agencies: Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), Air Force District of Washington (AFDW), Air Education and Training Command (AETC), 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. Program includes, but is not limited to, continued funding for four test aircraft and two System Demonstration Test Article (SDTA) aircraft, support equipment, Interim Contractor Support (ICS), training system air vehicles and devices, Type I training and courseware, non-developmental item (NDI) integration, cyber test articles, associated Government support activities, and permits the initiation of activities to support rapid requirement development. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver MH-139 weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. 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.
