Where on Earth did you hear this? UK CATT is on schedule and the program is
not at risk.

BATS has not been cancelled. The program was awarded to E&S, with first
deliveries
in December.

How could there be any problems? The RFP just came out.
I am extremely disappointed by these comments, which are inaccurate and
misleading. PC technology has reached the point where it is a viable
alternative
for high-end systems in many applications, and our recent design wins
reflect this.
