The US Army has renewed a contract with DynCorp International to provide support to the Kuwait Air Force’s AH-64D Apache helicopter maintenance programme for 16 AH-64D Apache Block II aircraft. The fixed-price contract has one base year with four, one-year options and a total contract value of $25.4m if all options are exercised, DynCorp said in a statement. The new contract will take over in July from an old one, signed in 2008 and worth $18.3m, a spokeswoman for the company said (GSN 841/7).
