yes myronc, we do need to hear details on the Force Protection gig

but it is not a lead contractor/operator issue just yet

the US Military has to first draw a line in the sand and make an announcement about how much each of the 21 contracts will receive of the US$1 billion -- then everyone will get to work, with MST being called into action at the appropriate time by its various lead contractors

but it is the funding allocation for each contract that we are waiting on atm

as we are spread across 9 contracts, I don't see the ultimate dollars being a problem - at an average of over US$ 47 million per contract (just assuming an even allocation), if MST earnt 50% under each, that would result in nearly US$ 215 million -- if MST earnt 25% under each, that would still be over US$ 100 million -- factor in ongoing MST ammunition supplies for years after, (under sepearte supply/acquisition agreements), and the figures fudged and guesstimated anyway you like, still look very handsome


good luck
