Boeing has won a 30-month, $33.5M cost-plus-fixed-fee contact from the U.S. Army to install turbine engines on AH-64E Apache helicopters.
Efforts under the contract will support the service branch’s Improved Turbine Engine Program, an initiative seeking to develop replacement engines for the AH-64 and UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.
Contract work will take place in Mesa, Ariz., and the Pentagon expects Boeing to conclude all tasks by Feb. 28, 2022.
The Army obligated $10M from fiscal year 2019 research, development, test and evaluation funds for the contract at the time of award.
