Boeing Lands $133.5M Navy Order for P-8 Training Support

Boeing has received a U.S. Navy order worth $133.5 million to provide Phase 2 software development, integration and device installation support for systems used by the South Korean government to train its air force on the P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft.

The Department of Defense said Wednesday the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division in Orlando, Florida, will obligate the full contract amount using foreign military sales funds and expects work to run through October 2028.

Scope of the Contract Action

The P-8A training support procurement covers services for an operational flight trainer, one weapons tactics trainer, a maintenance electronic classroom, a training system support center and electronic classroom instructor-led training.

Boeing will also provide engineering, logistics and management technical support for the procurement, development, inspection and acceptance of the hardware for P-8A training systems.

The Navy awarded the contract action as a modification to an order issued against the defense contractor’s existing basic ordering agreement.

The majority of the work will occur at Boeing’s St. Louis facility and the rest in Pohang, South Korea.

In August 2023, Boeing secured a $146 million order from the Navy to implement software and hardware updates to P-8 training systems.
