– Block II Chinook provides increased capability and survivability for global missions

– New configuration prepares aircraft for long-term modernization, sustainability

In support of the US Army’s ongoing modernization efforts, Boeing [NYSE: BA] The first CH-47F Block II Chinook aircraft was delivered. The aircraft is one of 465 aircraft in the Army fleet that will be modernized to the new Block II configuration.

“The CH-47F Block II improves capability, allowing the U.S. Army to lift more aircraft than ever before, fly farther and better maintain its aircraft,” said Heather McBrien, vice president and program manager for Cargo Programs. “This modernization program enables the battle-tested Chinook to continue playing a vital role in multi-domain operations going forward.”

With an improved drivetrain, strengthened airframe and upgraded fuel system, the CH-47F Block II provides an additional 4,000 pounds of maximum gross weight and expanded mission radius for nearly all payloads. In addition to capability improvements, the aircraft’s design enables future technology upgrades.

“As the Army’s heavy lift platform of the future, the CH-47F Block II provides increased capability while also supporting the Army’s need to remain strategically responsive across the full spectrum of operations,” said Viva Kelley, executive project manager, U.S. Army Cargo Helicopters.

Additionally, the company’s Block II program improves aircraft maintainability. The improved reliability of the new rotor system reduces unscheduled maintenance, and the simplified fuel system increases maintenance efficiency by reducing maintenance burden and cost.

NASA’s Stennis Space Center and partner Sidus Space Inc. announced the primary success of the center’s historic space mission – landing an autonomous system payload on an orbiting satellite.

“Our ASTRA (Autonomous Satellite Technology for Flexible Applications) payload is up and running,” said NASA Stennis Center Director John Bailey. “This is an incredible accomplishment for Stennis, our first space mission to fly on a new cutting-edge satellite. We are all celebrating this news.”

ASTRA is an on-orbit payload mission developed by NASA Stennis and is an autonomous system hardware/software payload. The NASA Stennis ASTRA technology demonstrator is a payload aboard the Sidus Space premiere satellite, the LiziSat-1 (LS-1) small satellite. Partner Sidus Space is responsible for all LS-1 mission operations, including launch and satellite activation, which enabled the NASA Stennis ASTRA team to accomplish its primary mission objectives.

LS-1 was launched into space on a SpaceX Transporter 10 rideshare mission on March 4 and deployed the same day. Following deployment, commissioning of the LS-1 satellite began and was completed on May 12. Sidus Space’s next step was to activate the payloads, including Astra.

After the payload was activated, the NASA Stennis Autonomous Systems Laboratory (ASL) team confirmed they had established a telemetry link to send and receive data to the Astra Payload Operations Command Center. The ASL team continued to check and verify Astra’s operation and confirmed that Astra’s primary mission objectives were successfully achieved.

“This is a remarkable and inspiring accomplishment for the entire team,” said Chris Carmichael, NASA Stennis ASL branch chief. “Many people have worked very hard to get us to this point. This is a great demonstration of the team’s vision and capabilities, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.”

NASA Stennis ASL works to create autonomous systems with safe designs. ASTRA demonstrates technology that NASA and industry need for upcoming space missions. The ASTRA computer on the satellite runs a digital twin of the satellite systems, detects and identifies causes of anomalies, and autonomously creates plans to resolve those issues. Ultimately, ASTRA will demonstrate autonomous operation of LS-1.

“Achieving Astra’s primary mission objectives demonstrates our commitment and dedication to driving innovation while advancing space technology with our trusted partner NASA,” said Carol Craig, Founder and CEO of Sidus Space. “We are proud to support such groundbreaking projects in our industry and eagerly await the continued progress of our LiziSat-1 mission.”

The success of the Astra mission comes at a time when NASA Stennis is moving forward with strategic plans to design autonomous systems, which will help accelerate the development of intelligent aerospace systems and services for government and industry.

– Boeing delivered the first two Service Life Modification (SLM) Block III fighter aircraft from two locations – St. Louis and San Antonio

– Third Block III SLM production line commissioned under Public-Private Partnership agreement with the Navy

Boeing [NYSE: BA] Boeing has completed the upgrade and life extension of the first two Service Life Modification (SLM) F/A-18 Block III Super Hornets, delivering them to the U.S. Navy one month ahead of schedule from St. Louis and two months ahead of schedule from San Antonio. The upgraded jets have the same capabilities as Super Hornets being delivered from Boeing’s new-built production line.

“Our success in meeting the accelerated timeline is proof that our service life modification plan is working,” said Boeing SLM Director Faye Dickson. “Due to our years of learnings on the program and our partnership with the Navy, the F/A-18 Super Hornet continues to be at the forefront of defense technology with new years of service to support the fleet.”

In partnership with the Navy, Boeing has improved productivity and is completing Block III upgrades ahead of the 15-month contract requirement. This was made possible by:

• establishing a baseline for the status of Block II F/A-18s received by Boeing, and the Navy’s work to prepare the jets in advance.
• Sharing information and best practices across multiple SLM sites to improve efficiency, manage workload distribution, and optimize resource allocation.

“Great measures have been taken by the Boeing and Navy teams to ensure these are the safest and most capable Block III F/A-18s we can deliver to our warfighters,” said Mark Sears, vice president, Boeing Fighters. “This is just the first of many deliveries, with approximately 15 years of SLM deliveries to come. Our warfighters rely on us to get it right every time.”

The Block III upgrade includes larger area displays and more powerful computing through Tactical Targeting Network technology and the Distributed Targeting Processor-Networked Open Mission System processor. The work is being done at Boeing sites in St. Louis and San Antonio and the Navy’s Fleet Readiness Center Southwest in San Diego.

Boeing and Fleet Readiness Center Southwest signed a public-private partnership agreement in March to expand the work scope at the command, paving the way for the readiness center to perform Block III SLM work now done in St. Louis and San Antonio.

“These first deliveries of Block III SLM jets mark a major milestone in our continuing efforts to ensure the capability, reliability, availability and maintainability of the Super Hornet aircraft,” said Capt. Michael Burks, program manager, F/A-18 and EA-18G Program Office. “We look forward to our continued partnership with Boeing to provide this critical combat capability to the fleet.”
