for Indian Air Force
LONG BEACH, Calif., June 15, 2011 -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] today announced that India’s Ministry of Defence has signed an agreement with the U.S. government to acquire 10 Boeing C-17 Globemaster III airlifters. The Foreign Military Sale -- approved by the U.S. Congress in May 2010 -- establishes India as the C-17's largest international customer. According to the agreement, India will take delivery of its C-17s in 2013 and 2014. "The C-17 will elevate India's leadership in the region," said Dinesh Keskar, president, Boeing India. "With its tactical and strategic capabilities, the C-17 fulfills India's needs for military and humanitarian airlift. The important transaction reaffirms our close relationship of several decades with India and also highlights our commitment to the strategic partnership between the two countries." "This agreement is a reflection of the outstanding partnership India's Ministry of Defence has with the U.S. Air Force, which worked very hard to help India strengthen its airlift capabilities with the C-17," said Jean Chamberlin, vice president and general manager, Boeing Mobility. "The aircraft's ability to transport large payloads across vast ranges, land on short, austere runways, and operate in extremely hot and cold climates makes it ideal for the region." Boeing will support India's C-17 fleet through the C-17 Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership, a proven multinational Performance-Based Logistics program. The GSP "virtual fleet" arrangement ensures mission readiness by providing all C-17 customers -- with varied fleet sizes -- access to an extensive support network for worldwide parts availability and economies of scale when purchasing materials. "Boeing is pleased that the Indian Air Force (IAF) has selected the C-17 to support its airlift mission," said Mark Kronenberg, vice president of International Business Development for Boeing Defense, Space & Security. "We look forward to partnering with India as we move forward with the agreement's 30 percent offset program, which will help strengthen India's aerospace and defense capabilities." During rigorous field evaluation trials in India in June 2010, the C-17 met all of the IAF's airlift requirements. A tactical and strategic airlifter, the C-17 can land combat-ready troops in remote locations or airdrop them directly where needed. The C-17's ability to back up allows it to operate on narrow taxiways and congested ramps. With a maximum payload of 164,900 pounds (74,797 kg), the C-17 can take off and land in 3,000 feet (914.4 m) or less. Boeing has delivered 232 C-17s worldwide, including 22 with international customers. The U.S. Air Force -- including active National Guard and Reserve units -- has taken delivery of 210 C-17s. Other customers include the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force, the Qatar Emiri Air Force, the Canadian Forces, the Royal Australian Air Force, the 12-member Strategic Airlift Capability initiative of NATO and Partnership for Peace nations, and the United Arab Emirates Air Force and Air Defence. Boeing, the world’s leading aerospace company and the largest manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft combined, has significantly expanded its footprint in India both in the civil aviation and defense market. Boeing is partnering with India's leading technology and manufacturing companies to build a supply chain out of India.

India to buy C-17
heavy-lift transport aircraft
from U.S.
for 10 Boeing C-17 Order
India on June 6th, 2011, decided to purchase 10 C-17 Globemaster III heavy-lift transport aircraft from the U.S. for the Indian Air Force. The deal under the Foreign Military Sales (Government-to-Government) is estimated to cost Rs. 18,000 crore (approximately $4.1 billion).
The widening defence cooperation between India and the US is reflected by the announcement of the deal to purchase the C-17 heavy-lift transporters, said Boeing’s India president Dinesh Keskar. Boeing is the manufacturer of the transport planes (1) This order exceeds the deal to supply eight Boeing P-8I long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft for $2.1 billion in 2009, the largest order so far. The C-17 is a large defense transport aircraft, which can airlift tanks, supplies and troops as well as perform medical evacuations. The decision was taken at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Defence Ministry officials said. (2) The Indian Air Force (IAF) successfully test-landed a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III strategic transport aircraft at the Gaggal Airport in northern India on 23 June, 2010 which leased from the US Air Force (USAF), the C-17 successfully touched down at Gaggal's 1317 m-long runway, some 500 km north of New Delhi, IAF officials said. A preliminary agreement has been reached for buying 10 C-17 Globemaster-III military transport aircraft in a deal valued at about $4.5 billion, the single largest military purchase from the US. The agreement was announced during the November visit to India of US President Barrack Obama. “After many years, this impetus in defense acquisitions has come in. There is definitely very marked improvement in procurement that started rolling four years back,” said former Indian Air Force chief Fali Major. This completed the IAF's C-17 trials. An agreement to purchase 10 aircraft, with an option to purchase six more, was revealed during President Obama's visit to India in November 2010. In February 2011 the IAF and Boeing agreed to terms for order of 10 C-17s with an option for six more; the order was approved by the Indian Cabinet Committee on Security on 6 June 2011. The C-17 is operated by the US Air Force, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, NATO, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates has placed 6 orders in January 6th, 2009. During the summer 2008 it was reported that the South Korea had allocated funds for the purchase of three or four C-17-class airplanes for use in supporting expeditionary deployments. In June 2009, the Indian Air Force (IAF) selected the C-17 to fulfill its Very Heavy Lift Transport Aircraft requirement. If the deal is approved by the Indian Defense Ministry, the C-17 would replace the Ilyushin Il-76 as the largest heavy lift transport aircraft in-service with the IAF. The report shows that “I’m also glad to see the mighty C-17 Globemaster, which I understand is under consideration of your ministry of defence. I would be remiss in not recognising it as a world-class strategic and tactical airlifter. Should you decide to acquire the aircraft, we will do everything we can to assist you in expanding your airlift capability,” Roemer added. This major investment will be able to making the differences for Green activity differences towards the climate change support what India has been planning over the years although this investment will be able to support the major heavy-lift transport aircraft and Emergency disaster plan. See below C-17 capabilities via youtube movies in addtion Joint Forcible Entry Exercise :
Speaking heavy-lift transport aircraft, Boeing is pitching the idea as a near-term and low-risk solution to transporting US Army Future Combat System (FCS) units to remote landing sites, perhaps lacking prepared runways. With a $2.5 billion price tag for development, Boeing argues the C-17B is cheaper than either the army's planned vertical take-off and landing Joint Heavy Lift rotor craft, or the air force's Advanced Joint Combat Air System concept for a short take-off and landing air lifter. According to flight global report dated, 10-16-2007, Boeing was seeking US Army support for a new version of its short take-off and landing (STOL) C-17 airlifter which the C-17B adds a centreline landing gear, more powerful engines and redesigned flaps that increase lift for short take-offs - similar in concept to the 1970s-era McDonnell Douglas YC-14 prototype. (4) On January 7th, 2009, The Boeing Company announced that the U.S. government has received a Letter of Request from India's Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the Indian Air Force regarding the potential acquisition of 10 C-17 Globemaster III advanced airlifters. (7) U.S. air Force's Stated Airlift Needs as the following:
The C-17 program, which supports roughly 25,000 supplier jobs in 44 states, has an annual economic impact of $5.8 billion. Now in its 18th year of service, the C-17 has supported numerous military transport, humanitarian and disaster-relief missions worldwide. Boeing has delivered 232 C-17s worldwide as of May 2011, including 20 to international customers. The U.S. Air Force has taken delivery of 206. See below for more detail deliveries (7) The C-17's ability to fly long distances and land in remote airfields in rough, land-locked regions make it a premier transporter for military, humanitarian and peacekeeping missions. You will be able to see the some of the specification as the following:
C-17 deal will be able to make sustaining 23,000 jobs in US and unemployment rate will make lower rate. The current U.S. unemployement rate has been higher now 9.1 compare to January, 2011 as 9.0.According to India Times Report June, 8th, 2011, The US on Tuesday welcomed the sale of 10 Boeing C-17 Globemaster III aircraft to the Indian Air Force ( IAF) with ambassador Timothy Roemer stating that it would sustain 23,000 jobs in America while significantly boosting the IAF's heavy transport capabilities.Also Ambassador Timothy Roemer stated that the C-17 Globemaster will broaden India's capability to provide humanitarian assistance to people devastated by natural disasters; to deploy peacekeeping troops around the world to secure peace in dangerous areas and to evacuate its citizens and others from areas of civil strife anywhere in the world.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6, 2010 -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Air Force and Air Defence today announced that the UAE has signed a contract for the acquisition of six Boeing C-17 Globemaster III advanced airlifters. The UAE, which announced in 2009 that it would modernize its airlift capabilities with the C-17, is the second Middle East nation to order the airlifter. "The C-17 will give the UAE the ability to perform a variety of humanitarian and strategic lift operations around the world in support of both national and international missions," said Major General Staff Pilot Faris Mohamed Al Mazrouei. "These missions require us to be ready for any contingency at any time and any place, and the C-17 meets our requirements." Under the agreement, the UAE will take delivery of four C-17s in 2011 and two in 2012. Financial terms are not being disclosed. "Boeing is pleased that the UAE Air Force has selected the C-17 to meet its airlift requirements for the 21st century," said Jean Chamberlin, Boeing vice president, Global Mobility Systems. "The C-17 consistently posts mission capability rates that are among the best in the world, earning it high marks for its industry-leading quality and reliability." Boeing will provide support for the UAE C-17s through the C-17 Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership, an agreement under which Boeing is responsible for all C-17 sustainment activities, including material management and depot maintenance support. "As a tactical and strategic airlifter, the C-17 is a perfect fit for the requirements of the United Arab Emirates Air Force," said Tommy Dunehew, Boeing Global Mobility Systems vice president of Business Development. "In addition to being able to land and take off on short, unimproved runways, it has the highest mission capability rate of any airlifter." The C-17 can carry large combat equipment and troops or humanitarian aid across international distances directly to small austere airfields anywhere in the world. With a full payload of 170,000 pounds, the C-17 can fly 2,400 nautical miles and land in 3,000 feet or less. There are currently 212 C-17s in service worldwide -- 19 with international customers. The U.S. Air Force, including active Guard and Reserve units, has 193. International customers include Qatar, the UK Royal Air Force, the Canadian Forces, the Royal Australian Air Force, and the 12-member Strategic Airlift Capability initiative of NATO and Partnership for Peace nations. A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is one of the world's largest space and defense businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world's largest and most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft. Headquartered in St. Louis, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is a $32 billion business with 70,000 employees worldwide. Source: Boeing News -------------------------------- The C-17 is operated by the US Air Force, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, NATO, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates has placed 6 orders in January 6th, 2009. During the summer 2008 it was reported that the South Korea had allocated funds for the purchase of three or four C-17-class airplanes for use in supporting expeditionary deployments. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia on the Persian Gulf, bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia. The UAE consists of seven states, termed emirates, which are Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah. The capital and second largest city of the United Arab Emirates is Abu Dhabi. It is also the country's center of political, industrial, and cultural activities. On January 4th, 2010, The United Arab Emirates (UAE), Dubai just had opening ceremony for the world tallest Tower, Burj Khalifa and built, reportedly based on the government's decision to diversify from an oil-based economy to one that is service- and tourism-oriented. In February 2009, the United Arab Emirates signed an agreement to purchase four C-17 airlifters. In January, 2010, UAE signed a contract with Boeing for six C-17s. On 18 December 2009, Boeing confirmed that the RAF had ordered a 7th C-17. In RAF service the C-17 has not been given an official designation (e.g., C-130J referred to as Hercules C4 or C5) due to its leased status, but is referred to simply as the C-17 or "C-17A Globemaster". In November 2009, 205 C-17s are on contract with the USAF. A contract for 8 C-17s from the supplemental war funding bill has not yet been awarded. On 18 December 2009, the US Senate passed the FY 2010 DOD budget with funding for 10 C-17s and was signed into law by the President the following day.. Total USAF C-17s contracted will be 223 once contracts are awarded, extending production until 2013. In June 2009, the Indian Air Force (IAF) selected the C-17 to fulfill its Very Heavy Lift Transport Aircraft requirement. If the deal is approved by the Indian Defense Ministry, the C-17 would replace the Ilyushin Il-76 as the largest heavy lift transport aircraft in-service with the IAF. According to the Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal P. V. Naik, the IAF plans to induct ten C-17 Globemaster III aircraft. As of June 2009, the selection was being reviewed by the Indian Defense Ministry, but an order has not been placed. According to Indian media report in October, 2009, the Defense Acquisition Council of India has "almost finalized" the US$2 billion deal with the United States for 10 C-17s. US Ambassador to India, Timothy J. Roemer, expressed optimism over the deal and said that the United States was committed to expanding the "strategic lift capability" of the Indian Air Force. Flash back to October 19th, 2009 during the India and US Kick off meeting for training Excercise, US Ambassador Timothy J. Roemer, in his opening remarks, said the exercise was the perfect example of how the US and Indian air forces were working together to share information, train and hone their professional skills. “I can assure the Indian Air Force it will be very pleased with its decision to purchase the C-130J. The first of them will arrive in early 2011 and the aircraft will be everything you hope it to be,” he maintained. The report shows that “I’m also glad to see the mighty C-17 Globemaster, which I understand is under consideration of your ministry of defence. I would be remiss in not recognising it as a world-class strategic and tactical airlifter. Should you decide to acquire the aircraft, we will do everything we can to assist you in expanding your airlift capability,” Roemer added. It is recalling that the India has had its first National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) in place for over a year. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh released the plan in June 2008; it outlines existing and future policies and programs for climate mitigation. The plan revolves around eight “national missions” and requires ministries to work with the Prime Minister’s Council on Climate Change to implement the plans. On January 7th, 2009, The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] announced that the U.S. government has received a Letter of Request from India's Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the Indian Air Force regarding the potential acquisition of 10 C-17 Globemaster III advanced airlifters.
