About this program
The E-7A Rapid Prototyping program is a Middle Tier of Acquisition initiative managed by the Department of Defense under Program Number 707. Operating as a Middle Tier Rapid Prototyping effort, the program aims to expedite the development and fielding of the E-7A aircraft platform. The program represents a significant defense acquisition effort utilizing rapid prototyping authorities to accelerate capability delivery compared to traditional acquisition pathways.
The primary contract under this program was awarded to The Boeing Company in February 2023 through a cost-plus-incentive definitive contract valued at $2.56 billion, with an initial obligation of $1.16 billion. The U.S. Electronic Systems Center serves as the contracting authority for this program, which encompasses aircraft delivery, components, logistics services, maintenance support, and engineering services. The contract performance period extends through February 28, 2028, and was awarded without small business set-aside provisions. The cost-plus-incentive structure suggests significant development and integration work rather than straight production, aligning with the rapid prototyping nature of the program.
