Boeing gets $2.5 billion Air Force contract for new airborne warning and control aircraft

Boeing and the U.S. Air Force have agreed on a $2.56 billion contract to develop two prototype E-7A Wedgetail aircraft, designed as a replacement for the aging E-3 Sentry AWACS fleet.

The E-7A, based on the Boeing 737, features advanced airborne early warning and control systems with a distinctive radar antenna.

The aircraft will enhance airborne battle management, providing advanced situational awareness and long-range capabilities against adversaries.

The Air Force aims to field 26 Wedgetails by 2032, with the first prototypes expected by fiscal 2028, Fox Business has reported.
