Japan E-767 AWACS: $16.9M US Deal Keeps Boeing Supporting the World's Only Four 767 Radar Planes

The US Air Force has exercised a $16.9 million option with Boeing for continued post-delivery support of Japan's four E-767 airborne warning and control aircraft. Awarded November 2, the modification funds engineering, technical sustainment, on-site field representatives and software maintenance through November 14, 2027, using Japanese Foreign Military Sales funds. Work supports the fleet following its Mission Computing Upgrade, which introduced modern mission computing and associated identification, electronic-support and cryptographic equipment. The option was already included in the existing contract ceiling and does not represent a new aircraft purchase or an increase in Japan's four-aircraft E-767 fleet.
