​Boeing and Raytheon to execute FMS contracts at Al-Udeid Air Base

Boeing and Raytheon have each been awarded FMS contracts via the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center to support the Qatari Emiri Air Force (QEAF), the DoD announced on 9 November.

Boeing received a $657.2 million contract modification to provide ‘comprehensive sparing’ and contractor logistics support for sustainment of the QEAF fleet of F-15QA aircraft

Shephard Defence Insight notes that F-15QA deliveries are due to begin in June 2021. The initial order from the QEAF for 48 aircraft was followed by a follow-on deal for 24 more.

For its part, Raytheon obtained a $77.64 million contract to upgrade the Qatari Air Operations Center (AOC) and alternate AOC (AAOC) by 31 March 2025. This includes ‘procurement of hardware and software, engineering services, installation, integration, and testing of AOC and AAOC components, end-user training, spares and help desk support outside the continental US’, the DoD noted.

Work on both contracts is to be carried out in Qatar at Al-Udeid Air Base.
