EADS in the USA DOD and HS Market
March 23, 2009
EADS still eyeing smaller U.S. buys | www.reuters.com
It is evident that EADS needs to acquire USA DOD industrial strength in the USA independent of the result of their AF tanker program proposed aircraft competition with Boeing. BAE has gained a strong role in the USA as one of the top DOD electroincs and system suppliers as has Italy's Finmecanica made a major penetration with the DRS Technologies acquisition. I believe UAV systems and avionics represent a growing market for them to consider an acquistion like Axsys, FLIR or other UAV avionic players.

Vendors will continue to support Circuit until at least the first part of December Companies will watch carefully the weekly trends over the next 45 days Vendors can easily create a "run on the bank" if one or two large suppliers change their terms significantly
"All of the Above" Policy for Oil Exploration and Development, Dr. S.B. Alterman
August 11, 2008
What's so bad about foreign oil? | www.latimes.com
Let's consider some interesting information on drilling for oil and allowing oil shale leases. In my opinion, we need an “all of the above” strategy to energy with the goal to make US independent of foreign energy sources as soon as possible. This includes, conservation, CAFÉ standards, solar, wind, research into new technologies, drilling (including off-shore), oil shale, and clean coil conversion. We need the equivalent of JFK’s 10 year goal for a man on the moon, with a 10 year goal for energy independence. It seems like many of our politicians are beholden to environmental ideologues who misuse information to achieve their own narrow objectives and ignore the strategic implications and hidden costs of our energy dependence on unstable sources of supply. Visualize the USA, in 10 years time, being independent of ALL foreign energy sources. We will focus be able to focus on the problems of anti-terrorism, health care, democratization, food supplies and clean environments.

High-end GPS equipment (approx. 250,000 receivers) will become obsolete.
June 11, 2008
Codeless and Semi-Codeless Access to the Global Positioning | edocket.access.gpo.gov
The DoD's proposal would essentially obsolete legacy high-end GPS receivers after Dec. 31, 2020. The DoD estimates there are approximately 250,000 of these in use today. The replacement cost of each receiver is $10-20,000 each. This action introduces uncertainty into the high-precision GPS marketplace. Some manufacturers are still selling legacy products.
