Boeing has announced the expansion of its industrial partnership strategy in Germany in support of the F/A-18 Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler offering to the Bundeswehr. A Request for Information (RFI) was issued to more than ten German companies to solicit bids.
German industry partners will play a significant role in providing support equipment, logistics and overall maintenance, parts, local sustainment programmes, training and other relevant repair and overhaul solutions for Germany’s potential Super Hornet and Growler fleet. German industry will also have the opportunity to participate in the development of the next-generation Jammer for the EA-18G Growler.
The RFIs are the first step towards in-country sustainment worth approximately US$4 billion / €3.5 billion over the lifecycle of the programmes and will contribute additional economic opportunity and value to the German economy as the programmes evolve.
