U.S. Navy Awards BAE Systems $1.7B Deal for Expanded Precision-Munition Production
Aviation News – The U.S. Navy has selected BAE Systems for a five-year contract to supply tens of thousands of APKWS laser-guidance kits, reinforcing the U.S. military’s access to low-cost precision strike capabilities. The agreement, valued at up to $1.7 billion with an initial $322 million order, responds to rising domestic and international demand. The Navy’s decision allows all U.S. armed forces—and eligible allies through foreign military sales—to acquire the guidance kits through 2029.
