BAE Systems received a contract valued at nearly $23 million to provide
F-16 support equipment, test systems, and spares to the government of
Oman. The contract continues the company's strong global position to
deliver the right systems and expertise to support F-16 aircraft
operated by U.S. allies.

"We are pleased that Oman has again called upon BAE Systems to deliver
the systems and services they require to affordably achieve their
mission readiness," said Carl Huncharek, program director for BAE
Systems. "Our deep understanding and single point of contact for their
sustainment equipment needs is why we continue to see such strong repeat
business."
BAE Systems has delivered more than 25,000 support equipment and test
systems to more than 24 countries worldwide. The company has done so
with a 98 percent on time delivery record and a 99 percent customer
return rate for the service, training, repair, and thru-life support of
the systems provided. BAE Systems will develop and deliver these items
from its Fort Worth, Texas facility by early 2014.
BAE Systems is also a leading systems integration provider for F-16
avionics upgrades. In August, South Korea selected
BAE Systems as the sole source contractor to upgrade its F-16 fleet.
Additionally, the company supports the U.S. Air National Guard's
upgraded F-16s and the Turkish Air Force's upgraded F-16s. BAE Systems'
upgrade solution includes the Commercial Fire Control Computer, which is
currently the highest throughput and most supportable mission computer
in any F-16.
