Boeing will produce four additional MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopters and provide related sustainment for the U.S. Air Force, marking its second production contract for the aircraft in five months. Following a $173 million award for eight aircraft in September, this recent contract increases the total value of the award to more than $262 million dollars.

“The quick succession of contracts demonstrates that the U.S. Air Force is all in on bringing the MH-139A capability to the warfighter as quickly as possible,” said Azeem Khan, director, MH-139 program. “Our team is dedicated to delivering and maintaining these aircraft, driven by a commitment to excellence, where safety and quality are our top priorities.” The MH-139A will patrol nuclear missile silos across the Midwest.

 This new order raises the total number of MH-139A aircraft under contract for 38 and to date, 21 Grey Wolf aircraft have been delivered to the USAF, including 12 that are part of the low-rate initial production contract awarded in 2023.
