Collins Aerospace has secured a potential 10-year, $700M indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract from the U.S. Air Force to qualify, manufacture and field ejection seat systems for the branch’s mission defense platforms.

USAF will obligate $5.2M in fiscal 2020 research, development, test and evaluation funds at the time of Next Generation Ejection Seat program award, the Department of Defense said Friday.
