INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has been awarded a $7 million contract from the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to provide comprehensive aircraft engine management services at seven military bases in the U.S. The five-year agreement is designed to improve efficiencies and cost-effectiveness for monitoring engine operational data and includes asset tracking and management in support of USAF airlift and aerial refueling missions.

We have structured an innovative support solution that reduces risk and enables the USAF to concentrate on its primary mission."
