I saw the RFP for that one go by when I was at Ford Aerospace. I recommended that we not bid, pointing out that an expert system to make launch-on-warning decisions was a singularly bad idea. Seen in that light, no one at Ford wanted to have anything to do with the program. Nevertheless, RADC apparently found somebody willing to spend their money. Fortunately, most of what RADC funds never gets deployed. John Nagle
