Description
Description — MH-139A Mod
The MH-139A program will replace the Air Force fleet of UH-1N aircraft, which have significant capability gaps in speed, range, endurance, payload capacity, and aircraft self-protection. The program of record is 56 aircraft, including 8 total Aircrew Training Devices (ATDs), and associated support equipment. The replacement aircraft will provide a vertical airlift and support the requirements for Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) and Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC). 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. MH-139A Low-Cost Modifications encompass, but are not limited to, efforts to implement performance enhancements, product improvement solutions, and the associated test efforts, to resolve capability gaps and meet emerging requirements for the MH-139A aircraft and associated training systems as well as necessary efforts to improve reliability, maintainability, safety, and mission performance, to reduce logistics costs, and to improve cryptographic modernizations. Modifications are prioritized in coordination with the user based on the safety of flights, critical to the mission, or mission enhancement. This funding will support potentially Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) and obsolescence solutions, including, if optimal, life-of-type buys or bridge buys limited to the program of record quantity. Program funding includes, but is not limited to, the purchase of Government Furnished Equipment, Trainers, Pub/Tech Data, Interim Contractor Support, Interim Supply Support, Data, and Program costs needed to field the capability. MH-139A Low-Cost Modifications may include installation costs depending upon the modification. Funding for this exhibit contained in PE 0102110F. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.

Oversight
GAO oversight of this program
GAO assessed MH-139A Grey Wolf Helicopter (MH-139A) in its June 2025 Weapon Systems Annual Assessment, as an Air Force MDAP program.
“The MH-139A program will replace the Air Force's fleet of 63 UH-1N utility helicopters. The MH-139A helicopter's missions will include securing intercontinental ballistic missile sites and convoys. The MH-139A program is acquiring a militarized version of a commercial helicopter that will be integrated with previously developed systems. The Air Force plans to acquire an integration laboratory, training system, and support and test equipment as part of the program.”

GAO assessed the program, not this budget line. MH-139A Mod is one of the lines that funds it, and GAO’s work above says nothing about this line’s own figures. Which line each GAO item attaches to is a hand-ratified crosswalk — how it was checked.
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not MH-139A Mod. GAO's program-level work on this line is above. See the DOD oversight record.
