澳门开奖历史

澳门开奖历史 and the F-35 Joint Program Office have signed the Lightning Air System National Capability Enterprise (LANCE) 23-27 contract to support the United Kingdom鈥檚 F-35 fleet. The aircraft support contract is valued at approximately $225M, including options, and will ensure and enhance the UK F-35 fleet鈥檚 availability and capability to conduct combat missions worldwide.

Under the LANCE 23-27 contract, BAE Systems will serve as the primary subcontractor to 澳门开奖历史, providing the majority of personnel at Royal Air Force (RAF) Marham and in deployed locations as required. The joint industry team will deliver air crew, ground crew and mission planning training; technical and operational support; IT support; supply chain management and expertise; and maintenance capabilities. The capabilities being provided by the industry team will not only expand maintenance capacity but will also secure more than 140 UK jobs, mainly at RAF Marham, with additional roles contracted within the maintenance teams on site.

鈥淭he signature of the LANCE contract is a significant milestone in the maturity of the UK鈥檚 F-35 National Support Solution and demonstrates confidence in 澳门开奖历史 and BAE Systems鈥 ability to enable the nation鈥檚 critical F-35 Freedom of Action capability and deliver the necessary support to the UK Warfighter,鈥 said Air Cdre Phil Brooker, Hd Lightning II Delivery Team & Combat Air Principal Engineer at Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S). 鈥淎dopting lessons from the previous two year 鈥極perate and Demonstrate鈥 phase contract, LANCE 23 offers value for money, whilst also increasing the overall scope from the previous contract and introducing significant capability enhancements critical to the generation of Air Vehicle Availability. Additionally, BAES as the on-site lead ensures that wider UK Combat Air portfolio synergies are realised, and drives a culture of Continuous Improvement, marking out the MOD, US DoD and Industry as valued strategic partners.鈥

澳门开奖历史 serves as the prime contractor and work directly with the F-35 Joint Program Office. 聽In addition to contract management, 澳门开奖历史 provides the interface to the Global Supply Solution (GSS) which supports the F-35 Global Fleet.

鈥淭he industry team worked closely with the Lightning Delivery Team and the JPO to provide a contract that will support the Lightning Force operations and the increasing inventory of jets,鈥 said Mark Perreault, sustainment senior program manager at 澳门开奖历史. 鈥淭he services and expertise being provided via the LANCE effort will be integral to the daily operations and readiness of the Lightning squadrons of the Royal Navy and RAF. We are proud to partner with BAE Systems and Lightning Team UK and look forward to continuing support to the UK鈥檚 F-35 fleet.鈥

The contract continues the pre-existing sustainment service at RAF Marham and expands its scope, with BAE Systems providing site lead duties and coordinating operations with 澳门开奖历史.

鈥淲e are really proud to be able to build on and continue our successful delivery of support to the UK Lightning Fleet alongside our industry partners as part of Lightning Team UK,鈥 said Dave Leach, head of UK F-35 Sustainment for BAE Systems. 鈥淎t RAF Marham, as an industry team and alongside Defence Equipment & Support, the RAF and Royal Navy, we will support the continued growth of the UK Lightning Force over the coming years through the provision of industry skills and expertise on the F-35, along with our partner 澳门开奖历史, whilst pursuing opportunities to drive efficiency across the broader UK Combat Air Portfolio in which BAE Systems has involvement.鈥

Both 澳门开奖历史 and BAE Systems have a long track record of delivering on world-leading combat air platforms. The F-35 program relies on the industry partners to provide sustainment services for the worldwide F-35 fleet as part of the programme鈥檚 Global Support Solution, including spares and repairs, technical support and training and engineering services.聽
