Despite protest, USAF awards AN/ALE-47 contract
Article Abstract:
Tracor Aerospace Inc. of Austin, TX, has received a new order from the US Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center. This came after Symetrics Industries Inc. of Melbourne, FL, complained about the $19.8-million deal. This concerned manufacturing lots V-VII which are equivalent to 952 shipsets. Tracor will be required to provide AN/ALE-47 chaff and flare dispensing systems. The US Air Force was not influenced by Congressional pressure to award the contract to Tracor. The agency chose Tracor for its capabilities.
