Delivery Order FA862018D3014-FA862018F3016

Goodrich Corporation, a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies (RTX Corp), was awarded a $74.03 million firm fixed-price delivery order on March 23, 2018, under the Qatar DB-110 Reconnaissance Program Foreign Military Sales (FMS) initiative. This order, issued by the Aeronautical Systems Center under the Defense Department, represents a production order against an existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for DB-110 reconnaissance pod systems. The work is performed at Goodrich's facility in Westford, Massachusetts, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2027. No small business set-aside was applied to this award. The DB-110 is a sophisticated airborne reconnaissance system providing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, and this delivery order fulfills Qatar's military modernization requirements through the FMS program, which facilitates approved sales of military equipment and services to foreign governments.

Goodrich Corporation's extensive subcontractor network supports this reconnaissance pod program, with specialized suppliers providing critical components including radomes and panel assemblies (CPI Radant Technologies), ground maintenance panels and testing services (Spartronics Plaistow), engine control systems (Triumph Engine Control Systems), custom optics and optical components (Zygo Corporation), cryogenic coolers and testing services (Temo, Inc.), custom electronics and circuit boards (Atrenne Computing Solutions, Cristek Interconnects), data recording systems (Ampex Data Systems), and precision machined parts and assemblies (J&E Precision Tool, Bond Optics, and other vendors). This subcontractor ecosystem demonstrates the complex, technology-intensive nature of advanced reconnaissance pod development and production, requiring expertise across optical systems, thermal management, avionics, and precision engineering disciplines.
