Raytheon Technologies‘ (NYSE: RTX) Collins Aerospace business will help the U.S. Air Force maintain electro-optical/infrared sensors of the U-2 Dragon Lady reconnaissance planes under a potential $493 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract.

Collins Aerospace said Wednesday it received a $66.2 million task order that will cover the first year of support work for the branch’s U-2 aircraft program.
