Navy May Scrap Ties With Lockheed Spy-Plane Project, Young Says
The U.S. Navy may pull out of the Aerial Common Sensor program if Lockheed Martin cannot prove that its solution will meet naval reconnaissance needs.

The Navy wants to purchase 19 aircraft as part of a 57 aircraft joint program led by the U.S. Army.

The Navy's outgoing Assistant Secretary for Acquisition John Young said if the Army sticks with the Embraer 145 airframe and opts for a lesser capability, the Navy will reevaluate to see if it meet its needs.
