Lockheed Martin says that it has completed another Space Radar review—on-schedule—and is headed toward system requirements review. A company release dated June 27 says the Air Force, Intelligence Community, and DOD participated in the integrated baseline review at Lockheed’s Denver facility that culminated in mid-April—yes, April. Meanwhile, the Senate Committee on Select Intelligence thinks it would be a good idea to terminate the Space Radar.
The Air Force wants to pump more than $12 billion over the next five years into its new affordable long-range missiles program and recently asked industry to push the flights of some of those munitions beyond 1,200 miles.
