The US Department of Defense has awarded Boeing $110.2 million in contracts to support US and allied military aircraft.
The deals cover upgrades to Qatar’s F-15 fighter jets, software work for the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor, support for Germany’s P-8A Poseidon patrol planes, and new equipment for Kuwait’s Apache attack helicopters.
The contracts come as the US Air Force announced Boeing has started building the F-47, a next-generation stealth fighter set to replace the F-22 Raptor.
EW Upgrade for Qatari F-15 Jets
As part of Washington, DC’s latest contracts, Boeing received $55.8 million to modernize Qatar’s F-15 fighter jets with new electronic warfare systems.
The work will be carried out in St. Louis, Missouri, and is scheduled to run through August 2027. About $28.3 million of the funding comes through the US foreign military sales program, which helps partner nations buy American defense equipment.
Currently, the Qatar Emiri Air Force operates 36 F-15 fighter jets.
V-22 Osprey Software Support
Meanwhile, Boeing’s joint venture with Bell picked up a $16.5-million contract to keep the V-22 Osprey’s software running smoothly for the US Air Force, US Marine Corps, and US Navy.
Most of the work will take place in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, and wrap up by December 2028. About $12 million in 2025 defense funds are tied to the deal.
As of 2025, the US armed forces operate about 460 V-22s, which have been in service for more than 18 years since their introduction in 2007.
Sustainment, Training for German P-8A Poseidon
Boeing also secured a $7.6-million modification to handle support, maintenance, and training for Germany’s P-8A Poseidon patrol fleet at Nordholz Naval Air Base in Lower Saxony.
The work, expected to be completed by September 2026, supports Berlin’s purchase of eight P-8As through a US foreign military sales contract signed in 2021.
Kuwait Apache, Simulator Supply
Another $30.3-million project will have Boeing’s Mesa, Arizona, facility supply Kuwait with remanufactured AH-64E Apache helicopters, a Longbow Crew Trainer, and related ground support equipment. The work is scheduled to run through July 2028.
The Kuwait Air Force employs 16 AH-64D Apaches, which are now being upgraded to the AH-64E configuration, and will also receive eight newly acquired AH-64E Guardians to complement the fleet.
