Pratt & Whitney receives $18 million TF33 engine sustainment contract for NATO Support and Procurement Agency's E-3 Sentry fleet, supporting fleet readiness for NATO's “eyes in the sky.”

Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, has received an $18 million TF33 engine sustainment contract from the NATO Support Procurement Agency (NSPA). Under this contract, Pratt & Whitney will provide comprehensive engine sustainment services for NATO's fleet of airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft, also known as the E-3 Sentry.

"NATO's TF33-powered E-3s have played a pivotal role supporting air, ground and maritime operations for over 40 years, providing its 32 member nations with air surveillance, real-time situational awareness and battle management," said Jessica Villardi, vice president of Fighter and Mobility Programs at Pratt & Whitney. "Our integrated engine sustainment approach will help maximize fleet readiness for years to come."

Pratt & Whitney will provide a materials management program to include part forecasting, procurement and technical support. The contract duration is for three years, with an option to extend it for an additional two years.

Work on this contract will be conducted at several locations, including the Geilenkirchen NATO Air Base, depots in Turkey and Greece, and Pratt & Whitney's East Hartford, Conn. facility.
