The Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) is moving ahead with plans to give its new Boeing F-15SA Eagle multirole fighter fleet an anti-shipping strike capability, the US Naval Air Command (NAVAIR) has revealed.

In a pre-solicitation notice published on 8 February, NAVAIR disclosed that it intends to negotiate with Boeing - as designer, developer, manufacturer, and integrator of the Harpoon weapon system - for a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract covering integration of the Harpoon Block II (AGM-84L) missile on the F-15SA aircraft "in accordance with the Air launch Harpoon Block II Interface Control Drawing and Interface Description Document".
