Alaska Aerospace may feel pinch from lost contract

KODIAK, Alaska (AP) — A Defense Department decision to extend Boeing Corp.'s contract for the country's ground-based missile defense system means Alaska's aerospace corporation has lost a possible income source.

The Alaska Aerospace Corp. partnered with Lockheed Martin to compete with Boeing for the $3.5 billion Missile Defense Agency contract.

Boeing had installed the system, which includes interceptor missiles at Fort Greely near Delta Junction, and maintained it since 2001.

Corporation Chief Executive Officer Dale Nash last month said the contract could have allowed Alaska Aerospace to double its staff even though it did not mean more launches at the Kodiak Launch Complex.

The Kodiak Daily Mirror (http://bit.ly/AahMBb) reports the corporation will seek operating support from the Alaska Legislature.

No launches are scheduled for the Kodiak complex this year. One is scheduled for 2013.
