A joint venture of Bell Helicopter and Boeing has received a $69.6 million modification under a U.S. Navy contract to update the configuration of three MV-22 Osprey aircraft units.
Under the modification, the Bell-Boeing Joint Project Office will apply Block C upgrades to MV-22 aircraft as part of a common configuration-readiness and modernization effort for the V-22 fleet, the Defense Department said Tuesday.
The Navy will obligate the modification’s entire amount at the time of award from fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018 aircraft procurement funds.
Bell-Boeing JPO will perform work at various locations in Pennsylvania, Texas and Utah, as well as in other various U.S.-based facilities.
