Boeing Co. wins key military contracts
May 9, 2012 By Reuters
May 9, 2012, Chicago, Il. - Boeing Co has won two U.S. Army orders worth $668 million for work on AH-64D Apache Block III helicopters for the U.S. military and Taiwan, the Pentagon said on Friday.
In a daily digest of major arms contracts, the Defense
Department said Boeing had won a firm, fixed-price contract of
$486 million for low-rate initial production of 51
remanufactured Apache helicopters in the new configuration.
Boeing began work on the orders in October, under a
preliminary contract while it was finalizing the terms of the
contract with the Army. Work on the helicopters is due to be
completed by the end of November 2014.
Boeing also won a $172 million, firm-fixed-price contract to
deliver an unspecified number of Apache Block III helicopters to
Taiwan in a deal that would run through the end of 2014.
