Rolls-Royce Corp. in Indianapolis has been awarded an $8.4 million modification to a previously awarded contract. The contract increases the scope to procure original equipment manufacturer engineering and logistics support for KC-130J aircraft engines for the U.S. Marine Corps and the government of Kuwait under the Foreign Military Sales program.

Work is expected to be completed in November.
