Meggitt PLC, a leading international company specializing in high performance components and sub-systems for the aerospace, defence and energy markets, has secured an $8 million fixed-price contract with the Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, for the delivery of nine liquid palletized cooling units for the P-8A aircraft.

The contract will be supplied by Meggitt’s specialist defence division in Irvine, California, and directly supports Lot 8 production of the P-8A aircraft, with follow-on awards anticipated for future production lots.
