The Boeing Company has been awarded an indefinite delivery contract by the United States Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center to support the Airborne Warning and Control System Block 40/45 Upgrade program. The single award contract has a potential value of $50 million and a period of performance through August 2025.
Under this award, Boeing is serving as the prime contractor for multiple delivery orders to provide hardware, installation, engineering support and other services to modernize communications capabilities on the E-3 Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft fleet. Key efforts include delivering Internet Protocol Enabled Communication kits, performing installations, conducting qualification activities, and providing interim support. Performance is taking place primarily in Oklahoma City, with a period of performance spanning August 2020 through September 2023 and collective values ranging from approximately $245,000 to $5.4 million across nine separate orders. Subcontractors support aspects of kit production, avionics and other non-production efforts.
The contract aims to establish a vehicle for installing remaining Internet Protocol Enabled Communication kits on aircraft, as well as related needs such as interim support, reach back capabilities, and repairs. This supports the ongoing Airborne Warning and Control System Block 40/45 Upgrade program's efforts to modernize the mission systems and networking/communications functions of the Air Force's airborne early warning and control fleet.
