General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems has won a US$27m contract from the US Navy for logistics support of mission computers in Navy F/A-18 Hornet and AV-8B Harrier aircraft.

The contract will cover the repair of advanced mission computers developed by General Dynamics for the F/A-18E, F/A-18F and EA-18G model aircraft, and the mission systems computer developed by General Dynamics for the AV-8B, the company says.

The performance-based contract will last five years.
