5 June, 2018: Kaman Aerospace has received its first order under Option 14 of its current Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF) contract with the US Air Force (USAF). This order has an expected value of about $69 million for the procurement of JPFs for the USAF and 10 foreign militaries.
"The JPF continues to provide our customers with increased mission flexibility and high levels of reliability and we look forward to supporting the USAF under this contract. With this award, we have added almost $500 million of new JPF orders to backlog over the last year. Looking ahead, we are prepared to support the USAF on their future JPF needs, while continuing to pursue significant foreign opportunities that will ensure the JPF remains a strong contributor for years to come," stated
