Headline: U.S. Army Next-Gen Rescue Helicopter Begins Defense Systems Testing

Caption: The U.S. Army’s next-gen rescue helicopter has begun defense systems testing. Amazing pictures show a 413th Flight Test Squadron HH-60W hanings in the anechoic chamber at the Joint Preflight Integration of Munitions and Electronic Systems hangar Jan. 6 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The 'Whiskey' model entered the chamber for approximately seven weeks of defense systems testing. The J-PRIMES anechoic chamber is a room designed to stop internal reflections of electromagnetic waves, as well as insulate from exterior sources of electromagnetic noise. J-PRIMES provides this environment to facilitate testing air-to-air and air-to-surface munitions and electronics systems on full-scale aircraft and land vehicles prior to open air testing.
