Boeing (NYSE: BA) has received a potential $114.6 million contract extension that will expand the scope of the company’s sustainment support work on Australia’s F/A-18A/B multimission fighter jets.
The company said Friday its defense business in Australia will serve as the weapon systems integrator as well as coordinate engineering, logistics and maintenance services for the Australian air force’s 71 F/A-18A/Bs under the revised Classic HornetSustainment Support contract.
