MH-139A
Abstract
The MH-139A 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 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. 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 devices, Type I training and course ware, extension of NDI integration as a result of Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) and security forces communication capability, cyber test articles, associated Government support activities, completion of Development Test (DT) and live-fire test and evaluation (LFT&E), and remedy of developmental test deficiencies. The FY 2024 development efforts will conclude systems engineering efforts for civil certifications, systems engineering tasks, and management services. Execution begins for initial training, Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E), and military type certificate. Government test and evaluations efforts will complete DT and LFT&E, and transition to Phase 5 IOT&E and IOT&E support execution. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver the MH-139A weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2022, $4.401 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2023, $3.542 million is forecast for civilian pay expenses in this program element. MH-139A funding also supports obsolescence solutions and innovation activities to include studies, analyses, requirements definition, and quick-reaction capability prototypes/demonstrations to accelerate planning for technology transition, technology insertion and future acquisition programs.
