Boeing has been granted a $115 million contract by the US Navy’s Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to furnish spare parts and repair equipment for the MQ-25A Stingray aircraft, ensuring its operational readiness and maintainability during its inaugural deployment.
The undertaking is projected to conclude by July 2026, with 80% of the work to be conducted in St. Louis, Missouri, and the remaining 20% in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Boeing aims to improve the MQ-25A Stingray aircraft’s preparedness, maintainability, and dependability by supplying crucial spare parts and repair equipment, thereby supporting the aircraft’s operational capabilities.
Initially awarded by the US Navy, the original contract to Boeing, valued at $805.3 million, encompassed the engineering and production of the MQ-25A Stingray unmanned aerial refueler, which entailed delivering four drones. A subsequent agreement was granted in 2020 worth $84.7 million to augment the US Navy’s inventory with an additional three MQ-25A Stingray unmanned in-flight refueling tankers.
