The company said the contract continues the its strong global position to deliver the right systems and expertise to support F-16 aircraft operated by US allies.
The contract is part of a drive to secure sales of more than 100 aircraft.

Oman is now the seventh country in the world, and the second in the Middle East, to operate the Typhoon, joining the air forces of the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria and Saudi Arabia.
BAE Systems has delivered more than 25,000 support equipment and test systems to more than 24 countries worldwide.
