This is a $440,347,703.00 fixed-price incentive contract awarded by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Hanscom Air Force Base to The Boeing Company to design and produce the Japan Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) Mission Computing Upgrade (MCU) Program. The contract is for a major defense program to completely replace the old mission computers and operator consoles on the E-3 AWACS aircraft. The upgrade, known as Block 40/45, provides a new open-system architecture with network servers and a user-friendly operating environment, significantly increasing the computing power and automating many manual tasks for AWACS operators. This contract was awarded on a full and open competitive basis, with no set-aside designation. As the original equipment manufacturer, Boeing is the prime contractor and will likely leverage key subcontractors such as Spirit Aerosystems, Honeywell, and L3Harris to deliver specialized capabilities for this modernization effort.
