Missouri-based Boeing Defense, Space & Security wins $3.2 Billion Manufacturing Contract

• June 01, 2016

Missouri-based Boeing Defense, Space & Security was recently awarded a $3.2 billion contract modification for Joint Direct Attack Munition, or JDAM, tailkits by the U.S. Department of Defense.

The contract, which was originally valued at $1.7 billion, was increased due to warfighter demand and the need to replenish depleted reserves.

Missouri has long been a center for advanced manufacturing excellence, supported by a cost-competitive, pro-business and innovative environment, exceptional talent, extensive training programs, access to raw materials and a globally connected infrastructure. Missouri talent builds the F/A-18, EA-18 and F-15 fighter jets, along with a huge array of military ordinance.

Today, that cutting edge innovation continues with more than 70 companies across Missouri, including Boeing, leading the way in every aspect of military aviation and equipment.
