Pratt & Whitney secures $18 million NATO contract to sustain TF33 engines on E-3 Sentry fleet

By Defence Industry Europe

Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, has been awarded an $18 million contract by the NATO Support Procurement Agency (NSPA) for TF33 engine sustainment on the alliance’s E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft. The three-year agreement includes an option to extend for an additional two years.

 

The company will deliver comprehensive sustainment services covering materials management, part forecasting, procurement and technical support. Work will take place at NATO’s Geilenkirchen Air Base in Germany, depots in Turkey and Greece, and Pratt & Whitney’s East Hartford, Connecticut facility.

 

 

“NATO’s TF33-powered E-3s have played a pivotal role supporting air, ground and maritime operations for over 40 years, providing its 32 member nations with air surveillance, real-time situational awareness and battle management,” said Jessica Villardi, vice president of Fighter and Mobility Programs at Pratt & Whitney. “Our integrated engine sustainment approach will help maximize fleet readiness for years to come.”

 

 

Pratt & Whitney, established in 1925 and part of RTX, designs, manufactures and services aircraft engines and auxiliary power units for military, commercial and civil aviation customers. The company supports more than 90,000 in-service engines worldwide through its global maintenance, repair and overhaul network.
