Boeing (NYSE: BA) received a $605M U.S. Air Force contract modification to manufacture a global satellite communications satellite designed to facilitate broadband connectivity for military users.

The firm-fixed-price modification brings the total potential value of the company’s contact to $2.49B. Work will take place in El Segundo, Calif., through Nov. 20, 2023.
