Interesting that they would sell their gov't tech stuff now, and not years ago...

They did a lot of work on rail guns, and I think directed energy weapons -
some funded by SDI/ Ballistic Missle Defense (a.k.a. "Star Wars")

They might get a good price for it from some defense contractor, however.
Hope they are able to keep some of the expertise & insight they
developed over those contracts.

I would speculate on TRW, Lockheed or Boeing being the likely buyers, in
roughly that order.

Now, long term, will they remain an independent company, or get picked up by a GE or Tyco ?
(By the way, with the government unit gone, they could be bought by a non-U.S. firm, like Asea Brown Boveri, or Siemens)
