| Poland selected MEADS International, and its main U.S. partner -- Lockheed Martin Corp. -- as one of four finalists for a contract worth up to $5 billion to modernize its air and missile defense systems. If MEADS wins the competition, it would help boost business at Lockheed Martin in Salina, which developed the 360-degree search radar for the anti-missile system. The
other finalists for the Polish contract are a French consortium that includes
Thales and MBDA with Aster 30, the IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries) with
the Arrow 2, and Massachusetts-based Raytheon, developer of the Patriot
anti-missile system. |
