KBR Secures $117M NAVAIR Contract for F/A-18 FMS Support

KBR has received a $117 million follow-on contract to continue supporting the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command’s F/A-18 and EA-18G Program Office, known as PMA-265. The work will sustain foreign military sales programs for partner nations operating F/A-18 fighter aircraft, namely Australia, Finland and Switzerland, KBR said Thursday.

The work will be performed over five years across multiple U.S. locations and international partner sites. The support aims to maintain operational readiness by helping ensure aircraft remain safe, reliable and mission-ready.

How Will KBR Support F/A-18 Partner Nations?

Under the contract, KBR will provide integrated program management, engineering, financial and logistics support to assist PMA-265 with sustaining F/A-18 systems and managing acquisition, training and lifecycle logistics. The work also covers communications security operations and coordination between the U.S. and allied militaries.

Mark Kavanaugh, KBR president of defense, intelligence and space, said the company’s decades of program knowledge strengthen its role as a long-term NAVAIR partner.

“This contract win showcases KBR’s expertise on the F/A-18 platform,” Kavanaugh added.
