ORS: The Army does its part

While DoD is still trying to figure out what kind of doctrine and operational role should be developed for Operationally Responsive Space (ORS), work continues at both Air Force and Army space organizations. The Army's SMDC just awarded $69M to Ducommun / Miltec to look at vehicles and technologies for ORS missions, though details were not released. (Miltec being a subsidiary specializing in missile defense work. It also, as you can see if you go to www.mil-tec.com, has a logo which uses a really unfortunate-looking version of the letter "i.")
