'And with the budget movements afoot for the 2012 fiscal year, we will accelerate the Gray Eagle from two companies per year to three companies per year,' said Tim Owens, deputy project manager for Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
Owens was among Army leaders speaking at the Association of the U.S. Army Aviation Symposium and Exposition which brought more than 500 military, government and industry professionals to discuss how to best sustain and acquire the required materiel to directly support the aviation warfighter and combatant commander during combat operations."

NATO Missile Defense for Europe
NATO has agreed to provide ballistic missile defense or BMD for all of Europe. This NATO BMD will protect NATO (European and American) military forces in Europe. It will also – for the very first time – protect the civilian population throughout Europe from ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction launched from the Middle East.
Much of this NATO missile defense for Europe – known as the European Phased Adaptive Approach – will actually be provided by the United States armed forces. This will include seaborne AEGIS missile defense on board US Navy ships in the Mediterranean, as well as land based radars and interceptor missiles.
This e-book describes how NATO missile defense for Europe will be organized and implemented.
