Boeing Presses Pentagon To Buy Another WGS Craft

摘要

Boeing is arguing to the U.S. Department of Defense that the company can build another Wideband Global Satcom (WGS) Ka- and X-band satellite for the same price as the agency would pay for a commercial satellite with equivalent capability.Boeing officials did not directly respond when asked if the company had been lobbying the U.S. Congress to kill a U.S. Defense Department proposal to partner with a commercial satellite operator that would build and launch a satellite which U.S. defense forces would then lease for 15 years.
