MILITARY CONTRACTS August 28, 2008

MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY CONTRACT AWARD

Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation, Anchorage Alaska, is being awarded a $48,968,854 (maximum) indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity, sole source contract to provide launch services and logistical support at the Kodiak Launch Complex for MDA flight tests. The place of performance is Kodiak, Alaska. The contract base period and one option are expected to be complete by Aug. 2011. The contract funds will not expire at the end of the fiscal year. The Missile Defense Agency, Washington, D.C., is the contracting activity (HQ0006-08-D-0004).

Wow! Missile Defense Uses Radar!

Isn't it reassuring to know that a successful test of Missile Defense "proves" that MD radar can track missiles? Since radar has been around since before WWII, it's good to know that we can use a technology that's only been been used for seventy years. Oh, and aren't we launching old Polaris and Minuteman missiles as our targets? 21st century technology?
