Several replies here...

1) The radars are, I believe, under a different tender.

2) $300-$500M program according to a recent press article.

3) The secrecy may be in large part due to the government's worry over the Hughes/Thompson ordeal last time around. Everyone is probably being told to stay quiet.

I just wonder whether anyone besides the incumbents (Thales on TAAATS and Raytheon on ADATS) stands a chance here. And who, between the two of them, is viewed more positively. I don't have a good enough sense for how they've each performed on their respective programs.
