ST. LOUIS (BNS): Boeing has received a contract from the US Air Force to provide mission planning support for the F-22 Raptor.

The order, valued at up to $24 million was awarded under the Air Force's Mission Planning Enterprise Contract-II (MPEC-II). The contract provides for the extension and sustainment of mission planning software, services and solutions.

Boeing is one of five contractors selected in June 2010 for MPEC-II, an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity program with an approximate total value of $920 million over 10 years.

Under the new contract, Boeing will continue development and integration of the existing F-22 Mission Planning Environment (MPE), which provides the ability to interactively plan and validate missions.

The MPE gives F-22 crews a full range of mission information, from preflight data reports to postflight debriefing materials.

The F-22 is built by Lockheed Martin in partnership with Boeing and Pratt & Whitney. Boeing supplies the aircraft’s wings and aft fuselage; integrates and tests the advanced avionics; and has responsibility for pilot and maintenance training systems, a company release said.
