Boeing reçoit un contrat de support et maintenance pour le toujours vert B 52.

Extrait du Seattle P I :

Boeing said Tuesday that it won a $750 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to provide engineering support for the B-52 bomber for the next 10 years.

About 150 Boeing employees in Wichita, Oklahoma City, and Shreveport, La., will perform engineering assignments to maintain the B-52.

"The ESP contract will allow Boeing to continue supporting our customer by sustaining, modernizing and upgrading the B-52 to meet the warfighter's needs both today and in the future," said Mike Houk, B-52 Fleet Support Program manager for Boeing, said in a statement. "Boeing employees understand the B-52 as well as anyone in the world, and we look forward to continuing to modernize this fleet of vital aircraft."

Et les projets en cours de bombardiers stratégiques vont peut-être prolonger la vie opérationnelle de ce géant : le B2 est arrêté !

The U.S. Air Force Wednesday granted Boeing an $11.9 billion, eight-year contract for the acquisition and sustainment activities needed to support modernization of B-52 weapon systems.
The award does not obligate any funds and requires issuance of specific delivery orders.
"This is a contracting vehicle that will allow engineering sustaining contracts, studies, production and other activities to occur in support of the B-52," Boeing said in a statement. "No funds were committed with this contract announcement. We expect our first delivery order to be awarded on Sept. 30."
Boeing has been maintaining and modernizing the B-52 bomber for 55 years -- including engineering services and upgrades to communication technology -- allowing the B-52 to remain a relevant weapon system in support of military missions around the world.
