As a September 25, 2006 URS press release explains, the Parts and Repair Ordering System (PROS) III contract issues requisitions and task orders for allied weapon systems no longer supported by the US Defense Department. URS will procure replacement parts, contract for repair services, perform studies and analysis, and provide technical assistance that may include travel to the country requiring support. The DefenseLINK announcement noted that this contract supports numerous aircraft and weapons systems including C-130 Hercules, the C-47 “Puff the Magic Dragon” gunship, F-111 Aardvark, F-4 Phantom II, F-5 Tiger II, F-16 Falcon, T-33 Shooting Star/ Wakataka, T/A-37 Dragonfly, and various commercial aircraft. The C-130 and F-16 support presumably refers to earlier models of these aircraft.
