Boeing Flight Deck Modernization Keeps C-17A Mission Ready...

The contract provides for the design, manufacture, integration, qualification and military certification of a modernized flight deck for the C‑17A. The program replaces critical avionics and mission essential equipment with modern, modular open systems architecture (MOSA) that enables plug‑and‑play enhancements and ensures the fleet can adopt new capabilities rapidly and affordably.


Boeing delivered 275 C‑17A aircraft between 1993 and 2015. The Air Force received 222 and our international partners received 53, forming what is now a well-established fully integrated virtual fleet support system across nine partner nations.
