Boeing Military Aircraft and Missile Systems
Jerry Daniels, President and CEO / St. Louis, Missouri
 
Military Aerospace Support is unique in the aerospace industry – a single organization offering the full spectrum of product and services to reduce life-cycle costs and maximize readiness of military aircraft in service with operators around the globe. This includes modernization and upgrade initiatives; maintenance and modification programs; training systems and services; spares and technical data; and a wide variety of logistics services. These capabilities have been leveraged on complex efforts such as the C-130 Avionics Modernization Program, and broad support packages such as FIRST for the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
 
The 767 Tanker/Transport is the reliable, low-risk solution for air-refueling and transport needs for military services around the globe. Equipped with proven aerial-refueling systems and flexible interior configurations, the 767 Tanker/Transport provides enhanced mission capability, optimum fuel offload and range, and low operating costs. It has been selected by the military forces of Italy and Japan.
 
The C-17 Globemaster III is the most advanced, versatile airlifter ever made. It is capable of flying long distances, carrying 169,000 pounds of payload and landing on short, austere runways close to front lines. As the U.S. Air Force’s premier airlifter, C-17s have dropped millions of humanitarian daily rations in missions over Afghanistan. The United Kingdom is the C-17’s first international customer.
 
The C-32A is a specially configured Boeing 757-200 for the U.S. Air Force. The aircraft provides safe, reliable worldwide airlift for the Vice President, U.S. Cabinet members and other U.S. government officials. Four C-32As are currently in service.
 
This modified 737-700C jetliner increases the logistical capability of the U.S. Navy’s worldwide fleet. It can be configured as an all-passenger, all-cargo or combination passenger-cargo transport. Boeing delivered four C-40As to the Navy in 2001 and will deliver two additional aircraft in 2002. These aircraft have begun replacing the Navy’s C-9 fleet of 29 aircraft.
 
The C-40B is a specially modified Boeing Business Jet that will provide high-performance, flexible and cost-effective airlift support for the Commanders-in-Chief, senior government leadership and team travel. The U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard have ordered three aircraft, which are scheduled to be delivered in 2002 and 2003. Additional orders are anticipated to replace other aging aircraft.
 
The Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle could significantly increase combat effectiveness while reducing the overall cost of operations. The UCAV has a stealthy, tailless, 27-ft. airframe with a 34-ft. wingspan. Its initial mission is to be the suppression of enemy air defenses. Because of their size, lack of pilot interfaces and training requirements, and long-term storage capability, UCAVs could cost 65 percent less to produce than a fighter or strike aircraft, and up to 75 percent less to maintain.
 
The multimission Harrier II Plus added a multimode radar system and next-generation weapons compatibility to the aircraft’s proven vertical/short-takeoff-and-landing capabilities. This aircraft is a product of a Boeing, BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce team and is built for the U.S. Marine Corps, and the Spanish and Italian navies. Most recently, it has been called upon to serve in Operation Enduring Freedom.
 
The F-15E Eagle is the world’s most capable multirole fighter and the backbone of the U.S. Air Force fleet. The F-15E carries payloads larger than any other tactical fighter but retains the air-to-air capability of the single-mission F-15C. It can operate around the clock and in any weather. Since entering operational service, the F-15 has a perfect air combat record with more than 101 victories and no losses. Three other nations fly the F-15.
 
Boeing is teamed with Lockheed Martin, Pratt & Whitney and the U.S. Air Force to develop the F-22 Raptor as a replacement for the F-15C. The fast, agile, stealthy F-22 will take over the air superiority role with Air Combat Command starting in 2005. The Air Force plans to procure 339 F-22s. Production is expected to run through 2013.
 
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is the cornerstone of U.S. naval aviation and the nation’s newest, most advanced strike fighter. Designed to perform both fighter (air-to-air) and attack (air-to-surface, or strike) missions, the Super Hornet provides all the capability, flexibility and performance necessary to modernize the air or naval aviation forces of any country. More than 70 of the 284 Super Hornets on order for the U.S. Navy have been delivered on or ahead of schedule. Production is expected to run through at least 2012.
 
The two-seat T-45 Goshawk is the heart of the integrated T-45 Training System, which the U.S. Navy employs to prepare pilots for the fleet’s carrier-based jets. The system includes advanced flight simulators, computer-assisted instruction, a computerized training integration system and logistics support. U.S. Navy and Marine Corps student naval aviators train in the T-45 at Naval Air Stations Meridian, Miss.; and Kingsville, Texas.
