The Defense Acquisition Board has set May 30 for its review of the Army-Air Force Joint Cargo Aircraft program, pushing forward announcement of the winning contractor to perhaps June at the earliest. Earlier this year, Army and Air Force officials said they expected to make the award in May. The two competitors—Team JCA (Raytheon and EADS CASA North America) and the L-3 Communications-led team—submitted their proposals in late January.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
