A new contract modification sees Dyncorp carry on maintenance and logistics work for USN test aircraft.
Dyncorp International is to provide organisational-level aircraft maintenance and logistics support for aircrew systems and subsystems, search and rescue equipment, and support equipment for seven USN-operated aircraft types, under a $60.46 million contract modification from the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) Naval Test Wing Pacific.
The aircraft involved are the P-3 Orion, C-130 Hercules, F/A-18 Hornet, E/A-18 Growler, AV-8B Harrier II, H-60 Seahawk and E-2D Hawkeye.
Work will be performed at nine US locations for completion by September 2022.
Dyncorp received a previous MRO and logistics contract modification worth $60.04 million from NAWCWD in October 2020.
