Northrop Grumman to overhaul KC-10 engines
Washington (UPI) Jul 6, 2016 - Northrop Grumman has been awarded a $13 million U.S. Air Force delivery order modification for three engine overhauls in support of the KC-10 Extender program.

The modification is connected to a previously awarded firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract.

Work will be performed in Canada and is expected to be complete by June 2018.

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is the contracting activity.

Northrop Grumman in May received a $17.5 million delivery order to a previously awarded contract for four engine overhauls in support of the KC-10 program.

The KC-10 extender is a tanker capable of conducting aerial refueling. It can also carry cargo and refuel aircraft while transporting personnel or equipment.

It is also able to move medical patients using support pallets during evacuations.

Lockheed Martin has been awarded a $20 million U.S. Air Force contract modification for engineering change proposals on the C-130J Super Hercules.

The work will incorporate five engineering change proposals into the production baseline of the C-130J multi-year fleet.

Work will be performed in Georgia and is expected to be completed by January 2020.

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is the contracting activity.

The versatile Super Hercules can touch down on austere landing strips and is often the first aircraft to arrive to provide humanitarian relief after disaster missions, Lockheed Martin said.

It has been used for combat, humanitarian, special operations, search and rescue, and aerial refueling missions.

The Air Force announced last month a new multi-year contract with Lockheed for 78 Super Hercules aircraft, with an option to buy up to 83 over the next five years.

The J models are slated to replaced the legacy C-130H.

The Super Hercules brings enhanced avionics and propulsion systems, as well as a higher maximum speed and shorter takeoff distance.
