US Air Force chooses Boeing to provide weapon planning software:
29 May 2019:Tapestry Solutions, a subsidiary of Boeing has received a 10-year contract from the US Air Force to provide Weapon Planning Software (WPS) for several aircraft and weapons platforms used by US military and allied forces. The mission planning software is intended to help military customers plan every detail of a mission, including routes, threats and points for weapons launches.
The contract is valued at $259 million and includes the development, enhancement and support of the WPS suite - a core component of the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) architecture, which allows collaborative mission planning and data sharing capabilities between military services. The WPS suite supports JMPS requirements related to precision-guided munition planning for A-10, B-1, B-2, B-52, F-15E, F-16, F-22, F/A-18 and F-35 operational units worldwide.
"We are looking forward on building on our partnership with the U.S. Air Force as we help to fulfill their mission planning needs with the WPS suite," said Debbie Churchill, vice president, Mission Products and Services, Tapestry Solutions. "It will ensure our customers have the critical data they need to get from mission plan to execution more efficiently with the use of faster, more powerful and intuitive weapons planning capabilities."
