The USAF has selected Speegle Construction to build a second phase of the Australia, Canada and UK Reprogramming Laboratory (ACURL) facility at Eglin AFB, Florida.
The deal from the US Army Corps of Engineers is worth $22.15 million, with an estimated completion date of 27 June 2023.
ACURL opened in February 2020 (although it is worth noting that Canada is not a partner or customer on the F-35 programme).
The facility develops essential Mission Data Loads (MDLs) for the F-35 to assist the array of optical, electromagnetic and other sensors in identifying threats.
MDL files are loaded onto the F-35 before flight using a portable hard drive.
