The U.S. Navy has awarded a $9.6 million contract to L3 Technologies and a $9.2 million contract to Boeing to supply flight training systems designed to train EA-18G pilots on tactical missions.
Each company will provide two EA-18G tactical operational flight trainers and Boeing will also build one brief/debrief station for the service branch, the Defense Department said Friday.
The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division sourced for both contracts via non-competitive solicitation processes.
DoD expects L3 to finish work by November 2019 and Boeing in December 2020.
EA-18G is an electronic warfare aircraft that the U.S. military uses for tactical jamming and electronic defense.
