BAE Systems announced Monday that its OneArc unit has landed a seven-year contract with the Danish Army to upgrade military training software, deepening the UK defense firm’s footprint in simulation tech.

New York, January 26, 2026, 19:54 — After-hours Salesforce announced that the U.S. Army has handed it a $5.6 billion contract over 10 years, through its Computable Insights subsidiary, aimed at boosting access to its data and cloud tech.

Boeing’s $2.04 billion B-52 engine upgrade contract puts Port San Antonio in the spotlight

Boeing has landed a $2.04 billion U.S. Air Force task order to advance the B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program, with work planned at Port San Antonio in Texas alongside sites in Oklahoma City, Seattle and Indianapolis. The work is expected to run through May 31, 2033, and begins with about $35.8 million in fiscal 2026 research-and-testing funding, a Defense Department contract notice showed. KSAT The award matters now because it moves the B-52 re-engining effort into hands-on integration and testing after a major design checkpoint, a step needed to keep the bomber fleet viable for decades. The Air Force expects to operate the roughly 75-aircraft B-52 force into 2050, replacing its aging Pratt & Whitney TF33 engines with Rolls-Royce F130 engines as part of the upgrade, according to reports.
