Both Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) will offer variations of existing aircraft to potential foreign customers, WRWR-TV reported.
Boeing will offer its F-15 Silent Eagle to South Korea, as the country is looking to replace its F-4 Phantom aircraft, according to WRWR.
Brad Jones, Boeing’s F-15 systems combat director, said the South Korean government released a request for proposals Jan. 30.
The U.S. military retired the Phantom in 1996.
Lockheed will offer a variation of its C-130J Hercules aircraft for cargo and personnel transport.
The variation will come without a fully automated cargo handling system and underfloor winch, WRWR reported.
Lockheed began producing the Hercules in 1954 and has built more than 2, 300 aircraft for 67 countries.
