The U.S. Air Force has awarded Boeing a $450.5 million foreign military sales, or FMS, contract to provide command and control capabilities to Japan’s F-15 jet fighters.
The Department of Defense said Tuesday that under the sole source award, Boeing will deliver radars, self-protection toolkits and mission computers to the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
With tasks expected to be completed by February 2030, the contractor will work at its St. Louis, Missouri facilities. A $110.8 million FMS allocation is being obligated at the time of the contract award. The contracting activity was initiated from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
Japanese Super Interceptor
In October 2019, the State Department approved a potential $4.5 billion FMS to Japan for the conversion of up to 98 F-15J to a Japanese Super Interceptor equipped with upgrades, including new radars, digital electronic warfare systems and mission computers.
The F-15s are expected to be among the Japanese warplanes that would incorporate the 50 cruise missiles that Lockheed Martin would supply under a $104 million FMS that the State Department cleared in August 2023.
