NEWS IN BRIEF

14 Aug 03. A unit of General Dynamics Corp. (NYSE:GD – News) has been subpoenaed by an arm of the Defense Department, which is investigating whether parts made by the unit for military ships and planes meet specifications. The subpoena, from the Defense Department’s Criminal Investigative Service, was received Aug. 11 and covers documents from 2000 to the present. The subpoena prompted General Dynamics to launch its own internal investigation of a factory in Glen Cove, N.Y., that makes composite structures for ships and airplanes.

18 Aug 03. Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) recently demonstrated the latest capabilities for the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), Step 2B contract to Col. Steven MacLaird, Joint Program Director of the JTRS Joint Program Office (JPO). The demonstration marked the first ciphertext demonstration to help validate the JTRS Software Communications Architecture (SCA) security supplement, and showed over-the-air interoperability between both JTRS software radios and legacy radios with Type 1 encryption. Equally significant was Harris’ ability to physically package the SCA technology into both manpack and handheld operational radio platforms. A key factor in implementing this packaging is the Harris-developed lightweight core framework that optimizes the SCA technology for small, battery powered radio platforms.
