The 30-month contract, managed by the Tactical Fighter Systems Program Office (TFSPO) at RAAF Base Williamtown, requires Boeing Defence Australia to deliver repair plans for faults uncovered during F/A-18A/B Hornet maintenance.
"This contract maintains our F/A-18 engineering capability as it increases our overall business on the platform," Brad Hume, Boeing Defence Australia F/A-18 program manager, said.
Boeing Defence Australia has delivered engineering support services to the TFSPO for the past six years.
It also continues to perform Hornet Upgrade Phase 2.3, which involves upgrading the Electronic Warfare Self Protection Suite on 68 aircraft and modifying 76 wing pylons.
Phase 2.3 is expected to be completed in 2012.
Under the new contract, engineering services will now be delivered under Boeing Defence Australia's Authorised Engineering Organisation (AEO) certificate.
