The U.S. Navy has awarded Boeing a $42.5 million contract modification to deliver eight deployable mission readiness trainers for the service branch’s P-8A maritime aircraft.
Boeing will also provide P-8A mode control panels and program management and engineering services under the modification, the Defense Department said Tuesday.
The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division obligated the full amount of the modification from the military branch’s fiscal 2015 aircraft procurement funds at the time of award.
Work will occur in California, Florida, Missouri, New York and Washington through October 2021.
Boeing designed P-8A for use in long-range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, broad-area maritime and littoral missions.
