The Boeing Company obtains an amendment worth approximately $ 9.5 million from the United States Department of Defense, against a previously awarded contract, to provide 94 retrofit kits for satellite communications systems, including 82 for the US Navy (32 for EA-18G aircraft; 25 for F / A-18E aircraft and 25 for F / A-18F aircraft) and 12 for Royal Australian Air Force AEA-18G aircraft.
The works will be carried out in El Segundo in California (for 80%) and in St. Louis, Missouri (for the remaining 20%), and is expected to be completed in April 2025.
The contracting station is Naval Air Systems Command of Patuxent River in Maryland.
The Royal Australian Air Force, over 24 Boeing F / A-18F Super Hornet multi-role fighter bomber fighters, also purchased 12 EA-18G Growlers (named localmenye AEA-18G) for electronic warfare, escort and suppression of anti-aircraft defense missions.
One of the twelve AEA-18G aircraft under the RAAF was lost in January 2018; this aircraft will be replaced with a new production aircraft which was ordered in September 2021.
