Boeing is expanding its industrial partnership
strategy in Germany in support of the F/A-18 Super Hornet and
EA-18G Growler offering to the Bundeswehr.
German industry will play a significant
role in providing support equipment, logistics and overall
maintenance, parts, local sustainment programs, training and
other relevant repair and overhaul solutions for Germany’s
potential Super Hornet and Growler fleet.
German industry will
also have the opportunity to participate in the development of the
Next Generation Jammer for the EA-18G Growler.

A Request for Information (RFI) has been issued to more
than 10 German companies to solicit bids. The RFIs are the first step towards in-country
sustainment worth approximately US$4 billion / €3.5 billion over
the lifecycle of the programs, and will contribute additional
economic opportunity and value to the German economy as the
programs evolve.
“Germany is home to outstanding aerospace
expertise and innovation and we look forward to expanding our
partnerships locally for Germany’s F/A-18 Super Hornet and EA-18G
Growler fleet,” said Dr. Michael Haidinger, president of Boeing
Germany, Central and Eastern Europe, Benelux and the Nordics.
“With this partner expansion strategy, we are laying the
foundation for new business opportunities for German industry
champions, high-skilled new jobs and long-term economic growth.”
The F/A-18 Super Hornet Block III provides
advanced, proven capabilities, as well as low life-cycle and
acquisition costs ideally suited to meet Germany’s fighter
requirements, including the dual capable commitments to NATO.
With the lowest operating costs of all U.S.
tactical aircraft in production (US$19,500 / €17,000 per flight
hour, source: U.S. DoD Special Acquisition Report), combined with
low procurement costs, the Super Hornet saves billions of
dollars/Euros over its entire service life of +10,000 flight hours
The EA-18G Growler provides full spectrum
protection, jamming radars and disrupting communications. The
combination of Super Hornet Block III and EA-18G Growler will give
the Luftwaffe advanced capability in both air-to-air and
surface-to-air missions.
