MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Alliant Techsystems Inc. and BAE Systems received a $32.2 million contract to develop a next-generation missile-warning system to provide protection for U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps helicopters and tilt-wing aircraft, the companies said.
Alliant and BAE missile-warning systems have protected aircraft in Iraq and Afghanistan from shoulder-fired missiles, the companies said.
