Boeing (NYSE: BA) will update as many as five Chinook heavy-lift military cargo helicopters for the U.S. Army under a $391.4 million contract.
The military service intends to procure CH-47F renew aircraft through the fixed-price-incentive contract and expects the planemaker to complete work on Sept. 30, 2025, the Department of Defense said Thursday.
According to Boeing, the CH-47F’s cockpit is equipped with a common aviation architecture and a digital management system.
