Raytheon says in a June 27 release the Army-Air Force selection group that awarded the Joint Cargo Aircraft program contract to competitor L-3 Communications “either incorrectly measured” or failed to consider “crucial portions” of its proposal offering the C-295 for the new intratheater airlifter program. We reported yesterday that Raytheon had filed a protest on the JCA award selection of the C-27 Spartan. Raytheon also notes that it beat the L-3 price “by more than 15 percent.”
RTX, parent of Raytheon, Collins and Pratt & Whitney, is getting out of the space prime business and focusing on its "strengths" as a maker of space sensors, buses, and components, company COO Chris Calio said during an earnings call.
