JSF wiring contract
Fokker
Elmo, a Stork Aerospace company,
and Lockheed Martin have signed a
Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) identifying Fokker Elmo as the supplier of wiring
harnesses for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).
Under the
terms of the agreement, Fokker Elmo will provide production capabilities,
support and sustaining engineering during the aircraft’s Low Rate Initial
Production (LRIP) phase. Both companies agreed to work together to further bring
to fruition all the best values from the unique Total Integrated Wiring System
solution, to support the Full Rate Production (FRP) phase of the F-35 program.
With a
potential value of up to US$2 billion, this agreement represents the largest
Dutch industrial cooperation agreement to date on the JSF program. © DAPSS
