V2X, Inc. has secured an $87 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract from the U.S. Navy to overhaul and maintain SUU-79 pylons for key tactical aircraft. The five-year modernization initiative aims to extend equipment lifespan and preserve fleet operational readiness.
The U.S. Navy has selected defense services provider V2X, Inc. for an $87 million firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to sustain and modernize critical wing-mounted hardware across its tactical fleet.
Under the agreement, V2X will overhaul, repair, and upgrade SUU-79 pylons, which serve as crucial structural interfaces on F/A-18 Super Hornet multirole fighters and EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft. These hardpoint systems are vital components that support, hold, and launch weapons, tactical missiles, and auxiliary mission stores.
Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, V2X, Inc. is a global provider of critical infrastructure, logistics, and mission-support solutions to military, intelligence, and government clients worldwide. The firm specializes in aerospace sustainment, supply chain management, and operational readiness engineering.
Maintaining hardware reliability is central to maintaining force readiness, particularly as deployment schedules place sustained demand on strike fighter platforms. By deploying advanced repair procedures and structural lifecycle sustainment techniques, the program is engineered to maximize component durability, minimize maintenance downtime, and enhance mission readiness across carrier air wings.
For the defense industrial base and aerospace maintenance sectors, the award underscores a ongoing military procurement priority focused on lifecycle extension and platform sustainment alongside new asset acquisition. Modernization programs allow defense departments to maximize operational efficiency and extract extended service life from established front-line platform investments.
Operational execution for the overhaul work will take place in Indianapolis, Indiana. All contract requirements under the current five-year agreement are scheduled for completion by January 2030.
