BOEING

The Boeing Company, Washington, has been awarded a $10,04,23,110 modification to a previously awarded firmprice-incentive-firm-target contract for the manufacture of four full-rate production Lot 8 P-8A multi-mission maritime aircraft for the Government of Australia under a cooperative engagement agreement. Work is expected to be complete by June 2017.

The Cabinet Committee on Security of the Indian Government has recently cleared the purchase of four more Boeing P-8Is for the Indian Navy. Delivery of the $1-billion order is expected over the next three to four years. This adds to eight others ordered in 2010 to enhance the Indian Navy’s anti-submarine warfare and maritime patrol capabilities.
