The Air Force has awarded a $1.7 billion contract to Lockheed Martin to provide mission qualification training and associated hardware and software for special operations forces and combat search and rescue crews. The contract falls under the Aircrew Training and Rehearsal Support II program. It’s a repeat win for Lockheed since it held the previous ATARS contract.
Boeing received a $2.47 billion Air Force contract Nov. 25 for 15 more KC-46s, bringing to 183 the number of Pegasus tankers on contract to all customers, foreign and domestic. The new contract—for Lot 12 of the initially planned KC-46 buy—is to be completed by 2029.
