That flash memory stuff isn’t just good for your PDA, and the constant desire for more in order to do useful things isn’t just your personal hang-up. A September 6, 2006 announcement noted that Boeing subsidiary McDonnell Douglas Corp. in St. Louis, MO received a $5.2 million delivery order against a previously issued Basic Ordering Agreement (N00019-05-G-0026) for the procurement of Flash removable memory modules (RMMs) for F/A-18E/F Super Hornet Lot 26-28 Retrofit Aircraft and F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Growler Lot 29-30 Production Aircraft.
This order is in support of Engineering Change Proposal 06296 (ECP-06296), “Solid State RMM Redesign.” Work will be performed in St. Louis, MO and is expected to be complete in March 2007. The Naval Air Systems Command, at Patuxent River, MD issued the contract.
