The Pentagon named the former civilian technical director for the C-17 acquisition program, Lawrence Fielding, one of eight employees to receive the DOD Distinguished Civilian Service Award for 2006. Fielding, who retired from Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, in August spent 35 years in civil service—all of it with ASC.
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.
