    A USAF military helicopter, tail number 14483, is positioned inside a large anechoic chamber lined with pyramid-shaped sound/RF-absorbing foam panels on all surfaces. The aircraft appears to be suspended or supported by a yellow lifting rig attached to an overhead crane, suggesting maintenance, testing, or installation work. At least one technician in a blue shirt is working near the base of the aircraft.

    A U.S. Air Force HH-60W Jolly Green II "Whiskey" helicopter, with the 413th Flight Test Squadron, hangs in the anechoic chamber at the Joint Preflight Integration of Munitions and Electronic Systems hangar at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, Jan. 6, 2020. "Whiskey" entered the chamber for approximately seven weeks of defensive 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.
