DoD News: Contracts for October 4, 2004:
CUBIC Defense Applications Inc., San Diego, Calif., is being awarded a $7,765,298 firm-fixed-price contract for the procurement of one Combined Hungarian Range Instrumentation and Simulation Training Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (CHRISTMS) for the Government of Hungary under the Foreign Military Sales Program. Work will be performed in San Diego, Calif., and is expected to be completed in October 2005. Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year. This contract was not competitively procured. The Naval Air Systems Command, Training Systems Division, Orlando, Fla., is the contracting activity (N61339-04-C-0104).
CHRISTMS: Combined Hungarian Range Instrumentation and Simulation Training Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System – having been involved in the acronym game, I can only wonder how long it took to come up with that one. It’s almost as bad as Automatic Omninodal-Heuristic Engine.
