The Air Force on Nov. 22 awarded Pratt & Whitney $93 million for engine work on F-22 Raptors. The contract, which lasts until Dec. 31, 2017, covers sustainment labor, data, and combined test force operations and support for the F119 engines, according to a Defense Department announcement. The contract covers Active Duty and Air National Guard F-22s, with work to be conducted at a Pratt & Whitney facility in East Hartford, Conn., as well as Edwards AFB, Calif.; JB Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska; JB Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii; Hill AFB, Utah; JB Langley-Eustis, Va.; Nellis AFB, Nev.; Sheppard AFB, Texas; Tinker AFB, Okla.; and Tyndall AFB, Fla.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
