Boeing Wins $99 Million USAF Infrared Countermeasures For Large Aircraft Contract

Boeing has been awarded a $99 million contract for the acquisition of Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) Block 30 hardware as contractor furnished equipment.

The contractor will provide LAIRCM Block 30 hardware for low-rate initial production Lot 1 and Lot 2 aircraft, to include the non-recurring engineering required to account for known and future diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages issues and Block 30 common configuration for entire aircraft fleet, US department of defense said in a statement Thursday.

Work is expected to be complete by Aug. 24, 2018.
