I heard a rumour recently that Ford Aerospace had lost the consolidated contract at JSC. FACC also just lost out on the DIVAD project also. If FACC did lose the contract, who picked it up?

DIVAD is the imfamous Sargeant York Divisional Air Defense gun. Problem is that it has immense difficulty shooting down airplanes, so Casper (the friendly Ghost) Weinberger scrapped it and they are going to reimplement it from scratch. -Ron
