Under the estimated $165m contract, Marshall will supply a batch of tanks to be fitted to development aircraft production orders, with each aircraft capable of carrying four tanks.
The company expects follow-on orders from the USAF for more than 650 tanks over a 15-year period, according to Defence News.
The KC-46A tanker is a widebody, multimission aircraft based on the Boeing 767 commercial airplane.
