The full $13,076,940 value of the modification is being obligated at the time of award using Foreign Military Sales funds.

Foreign Military Sales Context

The involvement of FMS funding indicates the work directly supports allied and partner air forces operating U.S.-approved aircraft and ground-based systems. While specific customer nations were not disclosed, such contracts typically cover program management, system integration, and technical coordination between the U.S. government, industry, and foreign operators.

Engineering and sustainment services are a critical component of FMS programs, ensuring interoperability, airworthiness, and long-term readiness of aircraft delivered to partner countries.

L3Harris Role in Air Force Programs

L3Harris is a major supplier of mission systems, avionics, and integrated solutions for U.S. and allied air forces. The Greenville facility plays a central role in aircraft modification, missionization, and sustainment, particularly for special mission and ISR platforms.

This contract modification reflects the Air Force’s continued reliance on industry partners to manage complex technical programs that support both U.S. requirements and international defense cooperation.

Program Oversight

The 645th Aeronautical Engineering Systems Group oversees a range of airborne and ground-based systems, with a focus on lifecycle engineering, sustainment planning, and modernization. Its involvement underscores the technical nature of the work and its importance to long-term fleet support.
