Boeing signs framework agreement worth up to $500 million for Apache attack helicopter support

Boeing signed a multiyear U.S. defense framework agreement with a ceiling of $500 million for technical and engineering support to the AH-64 Apache fleet. Orders may be placed through the end of February 2031, including work related to further development of the AH-64E and certification of its Version 6.5 configuration. The agreement establishes a contracting route for subsequent funded tasks across an aircraft type operated by U.S. and international forces. No funding was committed at signing, so the ceiling should not be interpreted as an immediately funded $500 million purchase or a new helicopter order.
