Northrop Grumman has beaten rival Boeing to provide logistics services for KC-10 aerial refuelling tankers.

The military contact was ratified by the Pentagon late Thursday.

While Boeing builds the KC-10 and currently provides service for the plane, Northrop has taken away the 25 year old contract, which will now allow it to offer around 300 jobs to logistics staff.

Los Angeles-based Northrop is already in another battle with Boeing over a lucrative $35 billion contract to replace the Air Force’s 179 aerial refuelling tankers.

Northrop Grumman takes away Boeing contract

(R) 2010 CARLETON S. FIORINA (Carly) for 2010 US Senator of California;
(R) 2010 MEG WHITMAN for 2010 California Governor : Northrop Grumman takes away Boeing contract is a GREAT CHALLENGE; especially California state’s jobless is non-stop raising, at least the Pentagon contract is giving Northrop Grumman’s defense workers a BIG BOOST of cardinala ampoule in Southern California; we need the careers, not just a job. Northrop Grumman is a long-time allianace of Texas A&M University-Commerce, no matter what we A&M-C will continue to keep up the HIGHEST QUALITY of all our Alumni’s diplomas, NOT let any “devaluation” happened to our Alumni’s diplomas. The (R) 2012 DAN QUAYLE Presidency to 2013 White House will fullfill more defense contracts to Boeing’s F-22 production lines to replace the old ageing F-16s; more Northrop Grumman’s IT contracts to our new American Ada micro-coded artificial intelligence, programmable Satellite design for Earth’s and Moon’s Orbits; Vector network system for Laser Weapon. Hopefully, we wish 2012 elected US President DAN QUAYLE will provide couple million$ of dollar to remodel and decorate the retired USS Kitty Hawk to become a “College of Marine-Biology & Biological Pharmacy” of Texas A&M University system, the A&M-Kitty Hawk will dock at Sabah’s Sandakan of East Malaysia’s Sulu Sea.
