According to CPI, the order is a ‘sole source follow-on order’. The company expects to start delivery of the structural assemblies from this year.

CPI Aero manufactures structural assemblies for fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, as well as airborne intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and electronic warfare pod systems for national defence markets.

The company serves as the prime contractor to the US Department of Defence, primarily the USAF.

In June, CPI secured purchase orders from Boeing under a previously announced contract to supply structural assemblies for the A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft.
