Pratt & Whitney has received an $18 million engine sustainment contract from the NATO Support Procurement Agency.
Under the deal, the East Hartford-based jet engine maker will provide sustainment services for NATO’s fleet of airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft, also known as the E-3 Sentry.
Pratt & Whitney will provide a materials management program to include parts forecasting, procurement and technical support on the TF33 engine.
“NATO’s TF33-powered E-3s have played a pivotal role supporting air, ground and maritime operations for over 40 years, providing its 32 member nations with air surveillance, real-time situational awareness and battle management,” said Jessica Villardi, vice president of Fighter and Mobility Programs at Pratt & Whitney.
The contract duration is for three years, with an option to extend it for an additional two years.
Work on this contract will be conducted at Pratt & Whitney’s East Hartford facility, as well as at the Geilenkirchen NATO Air Base in Germany and depots in Turkey and Greece.
