Boeing has received a $14.5 million award from the U.S. Air Force to repair Aircraft Maintenance Debrief Systems for F-15s flown by the Royal Saudi Air Force. The firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, time-and-material contract, announced Thursday by the Defense Department, will call for Boeing to provide trained personnel to use and maintain AMDS equipment at six locations throughout Saudi Arabia.

The Air Force has obligated $8.7 million in foreign military sales funds at the time of the award.
