It was announced that Australia had awarded a contract to Boeing (BA) to provide service and support to the new Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft being purchased by the Pacific nation. The new aircraft is based on the 737 airliner and is fitted with a variety of radars and communications gear. The five year contract is worth over $600 million if all options are exercised. Boeing has been building these aircraft for the last few years and the six when delivered will provide a significant upgrade to the Royal Australian Air Force’s capabilities.
The contract will be executed by Boeing’s subsidiary in Australia and will lead to the creation of a few hundred jobs. The contract is a Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contract similar to what the U.S. military has been using recently. The program not only includes the aircraft, but training and mission planning elements as well. Two aircraft have been delivered to date.

Boeing has been building a modified B737 aircraft to act as an Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft. Delivery of the first has now slipped four months according to this report. Any issues Boeing has with these types of contract only serves to reinforce the US Air Force’s belief that they could not meet the KC-45 timeline as well as Northrop-Grumman and EADS will. The contract is a fixed price one so a delay will eat into Boeing’s profits as well. The company is also building a similar aircraft for Turkey.
