- Boeing secured a full-rate production contract for the first four MH‑139A Grey Wolf helicopters for the U.S. Air Force, marking the programme’s entry into full-rate production.
- The award raises the total number of Grey Wolf helicopters under contract to 42, while Boeing has already delivered 27 aircraft, including 20 low‑rate initial production airframes, and the Air Force declared initial operational capability earlier this year as it prepares to protect strategic missile fields.
- Although the Air Force cut its original 80‑aircraft target to 42 in 2024, it increased its programme objective to 56 aircraft in the FY2026 budget.
