ULA Chief Disputes Assertion that Air Force Lacks Block Buy Data

摘要

United Launch Alliance (ULA) Chief Executive Michael Gass challenged a key assertion in a U.S. government report that urged the U.S. Air Force to rethink plans to proceed with a bulk purchase of satellite launchers next year, a recommendation that has found a receptive ear in Congress. While expressing support for Air Force efforts to comply with the recommendations of the recent U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, Gass said the congressional watchdog agency was mistaken in suggesting the service has insufficient information to move forward with its block buy.
