The contract funds individual orders as they are issued and cannot exceed $92.3 million.
Under the contract Boeing will provide engineering technical services in support of Naval Aviation weapon systems and associated equipment for the following aircrafts: the AV-8B Harrier II, a jump jet capable of vertical takeoffs and landings; the EA-18G Growler, a carrier-based electronic warcraft; the F/A-18, a multirole combat jet; the C-40 Clipper, a military variation on the 737 airliner; and the P-8A maritime patrol aircraft.
