    A military helicopter, bearing tail number 14483, is positioned inside a large anechoic chamber lined with pyramid-shaped electromagnetic/acoustic absorbers on all surfaces. The aircraft appears to be suspended or supported by yellow lifting straps attached to an overhead rigging system, with various cables and equipment connected to it. This setting is consistent with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) or radar cross-section (RCS) testing of military 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.
