Work will be performed in Tucson, AZ, and is expected to be complete in February 2009. The Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, MD issued the contract. The GPS-guided JSOW precision glide bombs, with their pop-out wings and range of up to 130 km/ 80 miles, will be deployed from Poland and Greece’s F-16C/Ds. Poland recently began receiving its aircraft. This order represents an increase over the small quantity requested along with Greece’s recent F-16 order, and will serve to match the JSOW-Cs its rival Turkey purchased to equip its own modernized and expanded F-16 fleet.
