Long term acquisition requirements call for 12 complete systems at an estimated value of $1.6 billion.<br /><br />The aerostat carried an electro-optical/infrared package to support force protection activities.<br /><br />Scheduled for fielding in 2012, when we will begin replacing currently fielded Aerostats and Rapid Aerostat Initial Deployment (RAID) towers, JLENS will provide a long-duration, wide-area cruise missile capability while also supplying the battlefield commander with situational awareness and elevated communications capabilities.<br /><br />General Electric built them back then but lost the contract because they spent almost half their expected work time on the ground for repair.<br /><br />Raytheon Co. has the contract know, but I'll have to see if I can find the specs on the new ones.<br /><br />Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor ...<br />Policy Budget Congress Links Public Eye Space JLENS <br /><br />http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/systems/jlens.htmWireless.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00327912256022939023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4138458.post-7940959384599972912010-04-19T04:29:06.500+12:002010-04-19T04:29:06.500+12:00Reliability is seemingly not readily available...
