St. Louis Business Journal - 11:44 AM CDT Thursday, May 31, 2007
The Boeing Co.'s St. Louis unit was awarded a nearly $8.1 million order for the procurement of a Harpoon Missile Subsystem Test Set Weapon Station upgrade for the government of Pakistan, the U.S. Department of Defense said Wednesday.

The order, a modification to a previously awarded contract, includes spares, installation and training. The contract was issued by the Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, Md., under the Foreign Military Sales Program.

The majority of work on the order will be performed at Boeing sites in St. Charles and St. Louis, with work also performed in Dallas; Oklahoma City; Yorba Linda and Chatsworth, Calif.; Engelwood, Colo.; Austin, Texas; and other U.S. locations.

The work is expected to be completed in January 2009.

Chicago-based Boeing Co.'s (NYSE: BA) Integrated Defense Systems unit, its largest subsidiary, is based in St. Louis and is the area's second-largest employer.

Misleading Headlines. Hardly any winning involved since they also supplied the missiles. Hence its a single bid. More like saying I won the 100 mtr race in the olympics without telling anybody that only you ran in the race.

No offense meant just seeing the lighter side of the headlines newspapers make.

In that case it can be termed as poor reporting.
My point of posting was to learn from the opinions of experts on the technical aspects of inducting those systems in Navy and to see how our enimies react to this deal.
I see you are new so .

Dear Friend,

Thank you for the welcome note. This procurement is a much delayed decision. My Friends tell me that its taken 3 years to get it through. I am not sure whether its due to the adminstrative procedures or american reluctance but it will definately plug a gap in Pakistans defence credability. Its the only way for any one to know whether the harpoons pakistan has are battle ready without having to fire them.
