It appears that President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair stuck to their May declaration of technical cooperation for the F-35 Lightning II. US and British defense officials signed a formal pact on technology transfer for the F-35 during the Farnborough Air Show last month.

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.
