The Air Force has awarded Boeing a contract valued at up to $2 billion to engineer and manufacture 242 wing sets for its fleet of A-10 attack aircraft. Boeing is to deliver the wing sets in easy-installation kits. The Air Force, which in late 2005 recognized it had a problem with cracks in its “thin-skinned” Warthogs, has been proceeding with a precision engagement upgrade, giving the 20-year-old aircraft a much needed avionics overhaul.
The Space Force’s Commercial Satellite Communications Office is forecasting a busy 2025, with somewhere around $2.3 billion dollars in contracts not only for USSF, but also combatant commands and every other military service.
