GE Aviation has been awarded a three-year performance-based logistics (PBL) contract from the US Navy to provide repair, replacement and programme support for F414 engine components of the F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G Growler aircraft.

The $576m multiyear procurement arrangement will provide operational readiness requirements for the F414 fleet through the US Navy Fleet Readiness Center.

The company has also been allocated $58.4m to extend the F414 Fleet Support contract through June 2011 with negotiations for a multiyear deal also being discussed.

The US Navy has gained lower acquisition costs with improved readiness through the PBL contracts.
