Raytheon says in a June 27 release the Army-Air Force selection group that awarded the Joint Cargo Aircraft program contract to competitor L-3 Communications “either incorrectly measured” or failed to consider “crucial portions” of its proposal offering the C-295 for the new intratheater airlifter program. We reported yesterday that Raytheon had filed a protest on the JCA award selection of the C-27 Spartan. Raytheon also notes that it beat the L-3 price “by more than 15 percent.”
Pratt & Whitney recently received more than $1.2 billion worth of contracts to sustain the F100 engines flown in older-model F-15s and F-16s.
