Army Sees At Least $500 Million Spy Plane Cost Growth
The U.S. Army said Friday that changes to the Aerial Common Sensor program are likely to add 50% to the cost of the system-design phase.

The Army will decide whether to keep or terminate Lockheed Martin's within 30 days after receiving Lockheed's recommendations to fix overweight problems.
