Boeing announced that it has been awarded
a $324 million Foreign Military Sales contract
to upgrade France’s fleet of four E-3F Airborne
Warning and Control System(AWACS) aircraft,
as well as the fleet’s ground system.
The French AWACS Mid-Life upgrade is based
on the U.S. AWACS Block 40/45 system, which
enhances the potential for network-enabled
operations, increases mission capability, reliability
and effectiveness and reduces life-cycle costs.
Air France Industries will begin installing the
enhacements at its Le Bourget Airport facility
near Paris in 2012.
The entire fleet is scheduled to complete this
upgrade in the third quarter of 2015.
