BAE Systems
has received a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) from the US Navy worth up to $368m to build and refurbish naval weapon systems, and provide support services over the next five years.
Potential orders received under this BOA are expected later this year and will be carried out by BAE Systems' facilities in
The BOA covers a range of BAE Systems' programs including the overhaul, manufacture and upgrade of the Mk 45 5-inch naval gun for the Cruiser Modernization program, the Mk 75 76mm gun mount, the Mk 42 extended range guided missile handling mechanism, the Mk 32 surface vessel torpedo tubes (SVTT), and the Mk 36/53 decoy launcher systems (DLS).
The BOA also covers the manufacture of gun barrels; the overhaul of turbine pump ejection systems (TPES); and work associated with minor calibre guns.

I do hope this doesn't cause costs to UK aviation to rise and lose business to those staying on fossil fuels.
