Lockheed Martin won an $8.3 million contract from the US Navy for support of the AEGIS Weapon System. Meanwhile, Airbus Defence and Space was awarded a contract by the Government of Canada for nine Airbus A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport aircraft, and Qatar expressed interest in acquiring additional Dassault Rafale fighter jets from France. The Republic of Singapore Navy has received its first Invincible-class submarine, and Boeing secured a $793 million contract to produce Block I CH-47 Chinook helicopters for South Korea and Spain.
  

Key Points: 

  1. Lockheed Martin has received an $8.3 million contract modification from the US Navy for shipboard integration and testing of the AEGIS Weapon System, expected to be completed by February 2025.
  2. Airbus Defence and Space was awarded a contract, valued at approximately CAD $3 billion, by the Canadian Government for four new and five used A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft to replace the Royal Canadian Air Force’s aging fleet.
  3. Qatar is reportedly interested in purchasing an additional 24 Dassault Rafale fighter jets from France, building on previous purchases made in 2015 and 2017.
  4. The Republic of Singapore Navy has taken delivery of its first Invincible-class submarine, part of a four-vessel order placed in 2013.
  5. Boeing has been awarded a $793 million US foreign military sale contract to manufacture 18 CH-47 Chinook helicopters for South Korea and one for Spain, with delivery expected by 2027.
