C-17 Globemaster III Integrated
Sustainment Program
The C-17 Globemaster III Integrated Sustainment
Program is a public/private agreement designed
around the concept of Performance-Based
Logistics (PBL) in which the customer pays
for readiness, not specific parts or services.
Under the agreement, Boeing is responsible for
integrating all C-17 sustainment activities. As
part of the PBL program, the C-17 Virtual Fleet
arrangement allows all C-17 operators global
access to a pool of shared spares and resources,
which increases aircraft availability and makes
the C-17 more affordable to own and operate.

Crew Space Transportation (CST)-100
Vehicle
The Commercial Crew program consists of
developing, manufacturing, testing and evaluat-
ing, and demonstrating the CST-100 spacecraft,
launch vehicle and mission operations. All
these program elements are part of the Boeing
Commercial Crew Transportation System (CCTS)
in support of NASA’s Commercial Crew program
to provide crewed access to the International
Space Station. The CCTS will also be capable
of supporting Bigelow Aerospace’s planned
orbital space complex. The CST-100 is a reusable
capsule-shaped spacecraft that can transport up
to seven people, or a combination of people and
cargo. Boeing has designed the spacecraft to be
compatible with a variety of expendable rockets
and selected the United Launch Alliance’s Atlas
V launch vehicle for initial CST-100 test flights
in 2017. In September 2014, Boeing received
an award of $4.2 billion from NASA to develop
the CST-100 system as the next generation of
human-rated spacecraft.
