Two Indiana companies have been awarded military contract boosts. The modifications for Rolls-Royce Corp. in Indianapolis and South Bend-based AM General LLC total more than $130 million.

The U.S. Navy awarded Rolls-Royce a $106 million modification to a contract involving maintenance and related logistics support for more than 200 naval engines. The work, which will be performed in Texas, Mississippi, Florida and Maryland is expected to be complete in March 2018.

The AM General deal involves a $28 million modification to a foreign military sales contract. The contract is for 150 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled vehicles for the government of Iraq. Work will be performed in South Bend, with the deal set to be complete at the end of May.
