The US Department of Defense has awarded Boeing contracts worth $110.2 million to support American and allied aircraft fleets.
The agreements include multiple projects: modernizing Qatar’s F-15 fighters, software upgrades for the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor, support for Germany’s P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol planes, and new Apache helicopter equipment for Kuwait.
One of the largest contracts allocates $55.8 million to equip Qatar’s F-15 jets with advanced electronic warfare systems. The work, to be completed in St. Louis by August 2027, includes $28.3 million in Foreign Military Sales funding. Qatar currently operates 36 F-15s.
Boeing and Bell also secured a $16.5-million deal to sustain V-22 Osprey software for the US Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy. Most work will be carried out in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, through December 2028, backed by $12 million from 2025 defense funds. The US military operates about 460 V-22s, in service since 2007.
In Germany, Boeing obtained a $7.6-million contract to provide maintenance, training, and support for the P-8A Poseidon fleet at Nordholz Naval Air Base. The work runs until September 2026 and supports Berlin’s acquisition of eight P-8As through a 2021 FMS deal.
Meanwhile, Boeing’s Mesa, Arizona, facility will execute a $30.3-million program supplying Kuwait with remanufactured AH-64E Apaches, a Longbow Crew Trainer, and related equipment. Completion is expected by July 2028. Kuwait is upgrading its 16 AH-64D Apaches to the AH-64E configuration and has also procured eight new AH-64E Guardians.
The awards coincide with the US Air Force’s confirmation that Boeing has begun building the F-47, a next-generation stealth fighter to replace the F-22 Raptor.
