Boeing’s $75M Smart Bomb Contract | St. Louis News
Description
Boeing just landed a $75 million contract to build precision-guided bomb kits for the U.S. Navy — turning regular bombs into smart, accurate weapons capable of hitting targets anywhere, even in tough combat zones. These JSOW Kits work with over 100 different munitions and are designed for efficiency, with no performance targets tied to this initial investment. Though awarded by the Air Force, the kits will serve the Navy and are primarily deployed from Boeing’s 747 platforms — a quarter of which fly for international customers, expanding global reach. This marks a major milestone for Boeing’s St. Charles facility and underscores its critical role in advancing defense tech for U.S. forces and allies.
