美国空军MH-139A计划是近年来最重要的直升机采购计划之一。根据2018年美国空军与波音公司签订合同,美国空军将采购84架MH-139A“灰狼”直升机,合同总价值24亿美元,其中包括采购、培训和后勤服务等条款。第一批直升机预计将在未来几个月内开始取代UH-1N“休伊”,并在未来几年全面投入实战部署。
“灰狼”在8月12日获得军用飞行资格时候,实现了这个里程碑。随着项目的推进,新的状态允许全空军机组对MH-139A的军用性能进行测试。在军方试飞开始之前,自2019年12月“灰狼”抵达埃格林空军基地以来,都是军方和波音承包商共同执行试飞任务。
美空军原本预计采购84架MH-139A“灰狼”新型通用直升机,不仅削减至36架,目前进行的初期战术测评,也被美国国防部指出仍存在重大缺陷,尚未达到作战要求,该机测试进度可能延后。
