Rolls-Royce Awarded Engine Services Contract For U.S. Navy T-45

'MissionCare' Program For The Trainer Aircraft Worth $103.3 Million

The US Department of Defense has awarded a $103.3 million MissionCare contract to Rolls-Royce to provide support for the F405 (Adour) engines that power the US Navy’s T-45 training aircraft. The contract reflects the continued success of MissionCare support for the US Navy and exercises the fourth option year to provide guaranteed engine availability. This includes support ranging from on-wing through intermediate and depot level maintenance, under a five-year base contract that began in 2008. Rolls-Royce uses MissionCare to apply commercial Power By The Hour principles to the unique requirements of the defense industry.

Paul Craig, Rolls-Royce, President – Defence Services, said: “Our MissionCare contract with the US Navy is one of our most successful partnerships and we take great pride in supporting the training of new aviators for the Navy and Marine Corps. We look forward to another successful year, working in partnership with our customer to maximize engine availability for training missions.”

Under the terms of the agreement, which is administered by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Rolls-Royce will provide inventory control, as well as integrated logistics support and required engineering elements for both the F405 engine and the aircraft gas turbine starting system.

This contract provides comprehensive propulsion services to more than 200 aircraft, operating at four main Naval Air Stations - Kingsville, TX; Meridian, MS; Pensacola, FL; and Patuxent River, MD.
