Several upgrade efforts for the U.S. Air Force's A-10 Thunderbolt are nearing key milestones, industry officials said Jan. 24. For the precision engagement (PE) program, which will give the A-10 a precision-weapons capability, Lockheed Martin expects to get the first production contract by March, company officials said. Several more production contracts are due to follow in an effort to equip all 356 Air Force A-10s with the upgrade by 2009.
Lockheed Martin is operating under a $74 million PE development contract awarded in 2001. That contract will modify 13 aircraft, including the test jet involved in PE flight-testing that began Jan. 20 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. (DAILY, Jan. 24).
