Alliant Techsystems Inc. has corrected software and manufacturing glitches that halted combat testing and delayed a potential $1.1 billion Pentagon production decision on a new anti-radar missile, according to the U.S. Navy.
“The anomalies experienced in the first operational test period have been corrected and verified,” Navy program manager Captain Brian Corey said in an e-mail. “The weapon is performing very well and the team has been able to meet the affordability goals.”
