News from LW...

Before anyone gets too excited, this should not come as a surprise given the international scope of the project under it's various different names, see last weeks post here, but SLAMRAAM has successfully moved on in it's funding through the developmental phase, again as with MEADS it's cheaper to fund it through that stage then be liable in 100's of millions of dollars in program termination fees as would be the case for MEADS and as has been brought up many times in this thread.

Note the OSH-KOSH armored FMTV is the launcher platform for the U.S. as pictured in the ref.
