Boeing has been awarded $110.2 million in defense contracts from the US Department of Defense, aimed at bolstering the capabilities of both American and allied aircraft. The funding covers a range of upgrades and support services for platforms operated by Qatar, Germany, Kuwait, and US forces.
Qatar will see its fleet of 36 F-15 fighter jets modernized under a $55.8-million program, which introduces new electronic warfare systems to enhance survivability. The project, funded partly through $28.3 million from the Foreign Military Sales program, will be executed in St. Louis, Missouri, until August 2027.
In the US, Boeing’s partnership with Bell secured $16.5 million to continue software support for the V-22 Osprey fleet, which remains a critical asset for the Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy. The Osprey program, valued at $12 million from 2025 funds, will be supported from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, with work scheduled through 2028. The fleet currently numbers around 460 aircraft, marking nearly two decades of active service since 2007.
Germany’s P-8A Poseidon fleet will also benefit from Boeing’s expertise through a $7.6-million support package, providing maintenance and training at Nordholz Naval Air Base. This effort, tied to Germany’s 2021 acquisition of eight Poseidons, is expected to wrap up by September 2026. Meanwhile, Kuwait’s helicopter forces will receive remanufactured AH-64E Apaches, training systems, and support equipment under a $30.3-million contract. The Mesa, Arizona-based work runs until July 2028 as the Kuwait Air Force upgrades its 16 AH-64D Apaches and incorporates eight new AH-64E Guardians into its fleet.
