NATO Awards $18 Million Contract for TF33 Engines to Pratt & Whitney
Pratt & Whitney, a leading UK-based company in the Engines and Defence Industry, has secured an $18 million contract from the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA). This contract is for the sustainment of TF33 engines for NATO's fleet of airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft, also known as the E-3 Sentry.
The maintenance work will be carried out at designated Pratt & Whitney facilities specialized in TF33 engine servicing, including the Geilenkirchen NATO Air Base, depots in Turkey and Greece, and Pratt & Whitney's East Hartford, Conn. facility.
Jessica Villardi, vice president of fighter and mobility programmes at Pratt & Whitney, stated that the integrated engine sustainment approach will help maximise fleet readiness for years to come.
The E-3 Sentry, with its TF33-powered engines, has played a pivotal role supporting air, ground, and maritime operations for over 40 years. It provides its 32 member nations with air surveillance, real-time situational awareness, and battle management.
This contract has a duration of three years, with an option to extend it for an additional two years. The new Engineering Center, launched by Boeing within the Cici & Hyatt Brown Center for Aerospace Technology at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Research Park, reinforces Boeing's long-term investment in the region.
