GCV RFP Delayed by Army

Big news in the defense world today for the GCV proposal that various contracting teams were working on: the RFP for GCV has been put on hold.

Those teams are an SAIC-led team that includes Boeing and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann; a BAE-Northrop-led effort; and a group led by General Dynamics Land Systems that includes Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.

These groups also mean jobs for the high unemployment are of Sterling Heights, Michigan. Many defense contractors are getting big tax breaks to bring jobs there.
