They do this by deliberately flying through radioactive clouds and scooping up air samples to be analyzed. The jet’s mission, famously ordered by [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://defensetech.org/2011/03/18/air-force-deploys-radiation-sniffing-jet-to-japan/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>11</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Who Could Bid to Replace the Air Force’s UH-1 Hueys?</title><link>http://defensetech.org/2011/03/17/who-could-bid-to-replace-the-air-forces-uh-1-hueys/</link> <comments>http://defensetech.org/2011/03/17/who-could-bid-to-replace-the-air-forces-uh-1-hueys/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 17 Mar 2011 19:28:59 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>John Reed</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Acquisition Reform]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Air Force]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Blimps]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Money Money Money]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://defensetech.org/?p=11899</guid> <description><![CDATA[So, it’s looking more and more likely that the Air Force will hold a competition to replace its fleet of about 90 UH-1N Huey choppers. For a while there the Air Force was hell-bent on buying a chopper with zero competition. But Air Force Secretary Michael Donley seems to have finally killed that idea.
