Work will be performed in Manching, Germany (80 percent); and Owego, New York (20 percent), and is expected to be completed in May 2022.

FMS funds in the amount of $158,500,000 are being obligated on this award, none of which will expire at the end of the current fiscal year.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, New Jersey, is the contracting activity.
