L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that its Link
Simulation and Training (L-3 Link) division was awarded a $43.7
million contract from the U.S. Navy to serve as prime contractor on
the C-9 Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) program. Should the U.S.
Navy exercise four additional annual contract options, potential
contract value of the C-9 CLS program could grow to approximately $230
million.
L-3 Link is responsible for overall program management for the C-9
CLS, encompassing aircraft depot, engine depot and site support at six
U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force installations.
In its various configurations 24 medium-range C-9 aircraft provide
the U.S. military with passenger transportation, cargo transportation
and special missions support. Two C-9 aircraft also are operated by
NASA to support microgravity researchers who are conducting studies in
a reduced gravity environment. The C-9 fleet, built from the mid-1960s
through the mid-1990s, eventually will be replaced by a fleet of
long-range logistical support C-40A Clippers.
"L-3 Link and our industry partners, Goodrich Corporation's
Aviation Technical Services division, Pacific Gas Turbine Center and
Patriot Aviation Services, are well positioned to assume
responsibility in providing uninterrupted contractor logistics support
to the C-9 fleet," said David Williams, Vice President of Training
Services at L-3 Link. "L-3 Link's experience in performing similar
scopes of work over the past two years on the C-40A CLS and E-6 In
Flight Trainer programs have provided valuable insight into how we can
effectively support the C-9 fleet and bring synergies to the C-40 and
C-9 programs."
In support of the C-9 fleet, L-3 Link will maintain site support
staff at six locations, including Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey
Island, WA; NAS Oceana, VA; NAS Atlanta, GA; NAS Willow Grove, PA;
Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC; and Scott Air Force Base,
IL.
