The Air Force has awarded the Lockheed Martin A-10 Prime Team $40.4 million to complete the engineering and manufacturing development phase of the precision engagement program for the A-10C, the digitally enhanced version of the A-10 Warthog. According to a company release, the team, which includes Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, and Southwest Research Institute, will continue its work through May 2008 to develop the PE software suite and support USAF flight testing.
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
