The Naval Air Systems Command will obligate the full modification amount at the time of award from the Navy’s fiscal 2017 aircraft procurement funds.
Super Hornet is designed to land and take off from aircraft carriers and equipped with conformal fuel tanks, an updated engine technology, a radar signature and an enclosed weapons pod.
