Buzz, The quote that caught my attention is <<The winner of the initial competition will have to design over the next three years a system of ground-based interceptor missiles, space-based satellites for missile launch detection and communications - tying it all together with sophisticated battle management control. >> Regarding "battle management control" From ANCR/Litton PR... ancor.com <<Specifically, Ancor and Litton are working on an upgrade to a fielded mobile command and control system for the U.S. Marine Corp, replacing certain full military specification equipment with COTS components. This project involves a quantity of field-deployed systems that serve as airspace command and control centers, processing and distributing key tactical data used to support execution of military plans. These systems use Ancor's GigWorks switches and adapters to connect Sun workstations, VME-embedded workstations and voice communications switching equipment utilizing a redundant architecture designed to increase the performance and reliability necessary for tactical conditions. "Similar to our recent contract with Boeing to provide GigWorks switches for a proposed upgrade of the Airborne Warning and Command System (AWACS), this application involves massive amounts of data that need to be distributed and processed in real time to provide the best possible inputs to guide command decisions," Hendrickson said. "Clearly, Fibre Channel is a proven performer in these demanding environments." >> Looks like Ancor has been building solid experience in this area. Go Boeing! rah rah
