BAE Systems is to receive an availability-based contract to provide support for the UK’s Harrier GR9/9A ground-attack aircraft until the type leaves service around 2018. To be valued at more than £400 million ($680 million), the Joint Availability Support Solution (JASS) deal will be agreed with prime contractor BAE by May 2007, following the completion of an assessment phase launched last July.
The contract will see the company oversee the in-service support of “repairable avionics, structures, general systems components and consumable articles” for the 60-aircraft GR9/9A fleet, says the UK Ministry of Defence. Rolls-Royce will receive a contract to support the Harriers’ Pegasus turbofans.
