C-17Boeing‘s defense, space and security unit has been awarded an $18 million contract to integrate and install DO-160G Tri-band radomes and mounting rings on C-17 Globemaster III aircraft for the U.S. Army.

The Army Contracting Command awarded the firm-fixed-price contract with options through a solicitation with one response projected to be completed on Sept. 30, 2017, Defense Department said Friday.
