Boeing has received a US Department of Defense contract valued at up to $131.23 billion to support the modernization, production, and sustainment of F-15 combat aircraft operated by the US and allied nations.
The “F-15 Eagle Crest” agreement encompasses new F-15EX aircraft, system integration, modernization retrofits, and lifecycle support for the US Air Force, Air National Guard, and international F-15 customers.
The contract is scheduled to remain in effect until August 2037. The initial ordering period will run through 2031, while an option could allow certain activities to continue through 2036.
New Sustainment Hubs to Accelerate Upgrades
Under the agreement, dedicated sustainment facilities will be established to enable faster completion of advanced repairs and avionics upgrades at military installations.
This approach builds on the US Air Force’s experience at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex in Georgia, where a dedicated facility is supporting the rapid integration of the Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System on F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft.
Expanding Support for F-15 Partner Nations
The contract also strengthens support for the global F-15 fleet through Foreign Military Sales. Existing operators such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore are included in the planned lifecycle support activities.
According to the Pentagon announcement, Poland and Indonesia could also receive related services as potential future F-15 operators.
Boeing will conduct associated work at its St. Louis, Missouri, production facility, with overall program management assigned to the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
