USAF awarded Lockheed Martin a $589 million contract to be the weapons systems integrator to “standardize, modernize, sustain, and transform” the Air Force’s 20 worldwide Air and Space Operations Centers. Lockheed must turn the AOC’s 48 discrete systems into one integrated enterprise by August 2010, according to a company press release.
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.
