Boeing Wins Contract for Additional MH-47G Block II Chinooks
The U.S. Army Special Operations Aviation Command (USASOAC) awarded Boeing a US$115 million contract to produce two more MH-47G Block II Chinook aircraft and begin advanced procurement on future helicopters in June. Including the new order, the Army has contracted for a total of 46 MH-47G Block II aircraft.
“Whether it’s operating in the dead of night or difficult terrain, the MH-47G Block II is a proven workhorse for special operations,” said Heather McBryan, Cargo Programs vice president and program manager for Boeing Defense, Space & Security. “It is our privilege to support ongoing USASOAC modernisation efforts that will continue to have a real-world impact on U.S. national security.”
USASOAC’s Chinook modernisation programme supports more than 20,000 jobs, and 360 suppliers in 40 states across the U.S. Chinook Block II production leverages the manufacturing base, which will provide support to the production line for new aircraft and fleet sustainment.
The MH-47G Block II heavy-lift helicopter improves USASOAC’S global reach capabilities with a reinforced airframe, redesigned fuel tanks, and state-of-the-art avionics. In addition, the Block II design enables future affordable modernisation efforts, keeping the iconic heavy-lift helicopter flying for decades.
