Boeing awarded contract worth up to $559M by U.S. Air Force

The U.S. Air Force has awarded Boeing a contract worth up to $559M over five years to operate, maintain and perform testing at the Little Mountain Test Facility at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Boeing has operated and maintained the Little Mountain Test Facility and site operations – including radiation effects, electromagnetic effects, shock and vibration, and other environmental testing – for 50 years. “From strategic deterrents to other priority defense and aerospace systems, it’s imperative that we rigorously test and verify their ability to carry out their missions no matter the circumstances,” said Ted Kerzie, acting vice president of Boeing Strategic Missile & Defense Systems.
